Question

What is the wavelength associated with an electron with a velocity of 4.8x10*5 m/s?

(mass of the electron is 9.1 X 10-*31kg)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 9.1 X 10^{-31} kg

Velocity = 4.8x10⁵ m/s

Planck’s constant ( h ) = 6.6262 * 10^{-34}

To find the wavelength;

Applying de broglie's equation;

Wavelength = h/mv

Wavelength = ) = 6.6262 * 10^{-34}/(9.1 X 10^{-31} * 4.8x10⁵)

Wavelength = 1.52 * 10^{-71} meters
