Answer to Problem 1P

The de Broglie wavelength is 1.26×1010m.

Explanation of Solution

The angular wave number from the wave function is 5.00×1010m1.

Write the expression to calculate the wavelength.

  λ=2πk

Here, λ is the wavelength and k is the angular wave number.

Write the expression to calculate 5.00×1010m1 for k in the above equation to calculate λ.

  λ=2π5.00×1010m1=1.26×1010m

Conclusion:

Therefore, the de Broglie wavelength is 1.26×1010m.

(b)

To determine

The magnitude of momentum.

Answer to Problem 1P

The magnitude of momentum is 5.26×1024kgm/s.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression to calculate the momentum.

  p=hλ

Here, p is the momentum and h is the Planck’s constant.

Substitute 6.626×1034Js for h and 1.26×1010m for λ in the above equation to calculate p.

  p=6.626×1034Js1.26×1010m=5.26×1024kgm/s

Conclusion:

Therefore, the magnitude of momentum is 5.26×1024kgm/s.

(c)

To determine

The kinetic energy in electron volts.

Answer to Problem 1P

The kinetic energy in electron volts is 95.0eV.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression to calculate the kinetic energy.

  K=p22m

Here, K is the kinetic energy and m is the mass of electron.

Substitute 5.26×1024kgm/s for p and 9.11×1031kg for m in the above equation to calculate K.

  K=(5.26×1024kgm/s)22(9.11×1031kg)=1.52×1017J(1eV1.602×1019J)=95.0eV

Conclusion:

Therefore, the kinetic energy in electron volts is 95.0eV.
