To determine the de Broglie wavelength of a proton whose kinetic energy is equal to the rest mass energy of an electron, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between kinetic energy and rest mass energy The kinetic energy (KE) of the proton is given to be equal to the rest mass energy of the electron. The rest mass energy (E) of an electron can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = m_0 c^2 \] where \( m_0 \) is the mass of the electron and \( c \) is the speed of light. ...
