The correct Answer is:
To calculate the wavelength of a particle given its mass and kinetic energy, we can use the de Broglie wavelength formula. The formula can be expressed in terms of kinetic energy as follows: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m \cdot KE}} \] Where: - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength, - \( h \) is Planck's constant, - \( m \) is the mass of the particle, - \( KE \) is the kinetic energy of the particle. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Mass \( m = 6.6 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg} \) - Kinetic Energy \( KE = 7.425 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{J} \) - Planck's constant \( h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{kg m}^2/\text{s} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ \lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \cdot (6.6 \times 10^{-27}) \cdot (7.425 \times 10^{-13})}} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator:** - First, calculate \( 2m \cdot KE \): \[ 2m \cdot KE = 2 \cdot (6.6 \times 10^{-27}) \cdot (7.425 \times 10^{-13}) \] \[ = 2 \cdot 6.6 \cdot 7.425 \times 10^{-27} \times 10^{-13} = 97.710 \times 10^{-40} = 9.7710 \times 10^{-39} \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{J} \] 4. **Take the square root of the result:** \[ \sqrt{2m \cdot KE} = \sqrt{9.7710 \times 10^{-39}} \approx 3.12 \times 10^{-20} \, \text{kg m/s} \] 5. **Calculate the wavelength \( \lambda \):** \[ \lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{3.12 \times 10^{-20}} \approx 2.11 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{m} \] ### Final Result: The wavelength \( \lambda \) of the particle is approximately \( 2.11 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{m} \). ---
