The de Broglie wavelength of a particle of mass 6.63 g moving with a velocity of 100 ~m ~s ⁻¹ is:
Options
- A10⁻²⁸ ~m
- B10⁻²⁵ ~m
- C10⁻³³ ~m
- D10⁻²³ ~m
Correct answer
C. 10⁻³³ ~m
Step-by-step solution
The de Broglie wavelength is given by the formula = h mv , where h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of the particle, and v is its velocity. Given values are: h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s m = 6.63 g = 6.63 10⁻³ kg v = 100 m s ⁻¹ = 10² m s ⁻¹ Substituting these values into the formula: = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ (6.63 10⁻³) 10² = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 6.63 10⁻¹ = 10^ -34 - (-1) = 10⁻³³ m Answer: 10⁻³³ ~m
