What is the wavelength in meters of a proton (mass = 1.673 x 10-24 g) that has been accelerated to 5% of the speed of light?

Step-by-step explanation:

since it has been accelerated to 5℅ of the sleec of light then

v= 5/100 × (3× 10^8)

after getting velocity you'll substitute the values in the formula

de Broglie wavelength= h/mv

don't forget to change the grams in mass to kg

aorry I don't hav my calc with me
