Chapter 9, Problem 9.57E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The velocity of an electron having de Broglie wavelength of $1.00\stackrel{\text{ο}}{\text{A}}$ is to be calculated. Also, the velocity of a proton having the same de Broglie wavelength is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

De Broglie wavelength shows dual nature of light, that is, particle like nature and wave like nature. The de Broglie wavelength relates the wavelength of an object with its momentum. The De-Broglie wavelength is given by,

$\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}$
