Chapter 27, Problem 74A

To determine

To Write: A physics problem for which the given equation would be part of the solution.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

de Broglie wavelength can be obtained by:

  $\lambda =\frac{h}{p}$

Here, h is the Planck’s constant and p is the moment of the object.

The complete problem can be:

Find the de Broglie wavelength of the particle having momentum $p=1.19\times {10}^{-27}\text{kg}\cdot \text{m}$ .

The value of Planck’s constant is $h=6.63\times {10}^{-34}\text{J}\cdot \text{s}$ . Solving this problem would involve the equation:

  $\lambda =\frac{6.63\times {10}^{-34}\text{J}\cdot \text{s}}{1.19\times {10}^{-27}\text{kg}\cdot \text{m}}$
