The wavelength of an electron of kinetic energy $4.50\times10^{-29}$ J is _________ $\times 10^{-5}$ m. (Nearest integer)
Given : mass of electron is $9\times10^{-31}$ kg, h $=6.6\times10^{-34}$ J s
Answer (integer)
7
Solution
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{mv}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mKE}}}=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 9 \times 10^{-31} \times 4.5 \times 10^{-29}}} \\\\
& =\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{9^2 \times 10^{-60}}} \\\\
& =\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{9 \times 10^{-30}}=\frac{6.6}{9} \times 10^{-4} \\\\
& =7.3 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
