Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength λ is calculated using the formula λ = h / (mv), where h is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 Js), m is the mass of the electron (9.11 × 10^-31 kg), and v is the velocity (6.00 × 10^6 m/s). Converting the mass from grams to kilograms and substituting the values gives λ ≈ 1.21 × 10^-10 m.
