The de Broglie wavelength of buckyballs (buckminsterfullerene,C₆₀)has been observed experimentally.If a C₆₀ molecule (1.20 $\times$ 10^-²⁴ kg)has a velocity of 220 m/s,what is its de Broglie wavelength?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength is calculated using the formula λ = h/p, where h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 Js) and p is the momentum (mass x velocity). For a C60 molecule with mass 1.20 x 10^-24 kg and velocity 220 m/s, the wavelength is approximately 2.52 pm.
