Atomic Structure Question 178

Question: Calculate de-Broglie wavelength of an electron travelling at 1% of the speed of light

[DPMT 2004]

Options:

A) 2.73×1024

B) 2.42×1010

C) 242.2×1010

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

One percent of the speed of light is v=(1100)(3.00×108ms1) = 3.00×106ms1 Momentum of the electron (p) = mν = (9.11×1031kg),(3.00×106ms1) = 2.73×1024kg,ms1 The de-broglie wavelength of this electron is λ=hp=6.626×10342.73×1024kgms1

λ=2.424×1010m .
