Question

8. If the velocity of a moving particle is
2.19 x 106ms, weighing
9.1 x 10-31 kg. Calculate the de Broglie
wave length associated with it during its
motion.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to de Broglie's equation

λ=

mv

h

where, λ= de-Broglie wavelength

h=6.626×10

−34

Js=Planck's constant

m=mass of electron=9.1×10

−31

kg

velocity of electron, v=2.19×10

6

m/s

upon substitution we get:

λ=

9.1×10

−31

×2.19×10

6

6.626×10

−34

λ=0.332×10

−9

=3.32×10

−10
