The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of \(10^7 \, \text{m/s}\), we can use the de Broglie wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where: - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength, - \(h\) is the Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s}\)), - \(p\) is the momentum of the particle. The momentum \(p\) of the electron can be calculated using the formula: \[ p = mv \] where: - \(m\) is the mass of the electron (\(9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg}\)), - \(v\) is the velocity of the electron (\(10^7 \, \text{m/s}\)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the momentum \(p\)**: \[ p = mv = (9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg}) \times (10^7 \, \text{m/s}) \] \[ p = 9.11 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{kg m/s} \] 2. **Substitute the values into the de Broglie wavelength formula**: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s}}{9.11 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{kg m/s}} \] 3. **Perform the division**: \[ \lambda = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{9.11 \times 10^{-24}} \approx 7.27 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} \] 4. **Final Result**: The wavelength of the electron is approximately: \[ \lambda \approx 7.27 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer is \(7.27 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m}\).
