Question

What is the K.E of an electron whose de-Broglie wavelength is 5000 Å?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Here is your Answer: De-Broglie's wavelength(say ¥) is (h/mv) where h=Planck's Constant,m=mass and v=velocity. As we know, mv=momentum(p) or p=√(2Km) where K is kinetic energy. Put ¥=5000*(10^-10) and value of h and m=9.1*(10^-31) and get the value of K
