Calculate the wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of 2.05 × 107 ms-1.

Question 2.20: Calculate the wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of 2.05 × 107 ms-1.
Answer
According to de Broglie’s equation,

Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of particle
v = velocity of particle
h = Planck’s constant
Substituting the values in the expression of λ:

Hence, the wavelength of the electron moving with a velocity of 2.05 × 107 ms-1 is 3.548 × 10-11 m.
