The correct Answer is:
To find the de Broglie wavelength of an electron given its kinetic energy, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the given values - Kinetic Energy (KE) of the electron, \( KE = 2.8 \times 10^{-23} \, J \) - Mass of the electron, \( m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg \) - Planck's constant, \( h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s \) ### Step 2: Use the kinetic energy formula to find the velocity of the electron The kinetic energy of an electron can be expressed as: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Rearranging this formula to find the velocity \( v \): \[ v^2 = \frac{2 \times KE}{m} \] Substituting the known values: \[ v^2 = \frac{2 \times 2.8 \times 10^{-23}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( v^2 \) Calculating the right side: \[ v^2 = \frac{5.6 \times 10^{-23}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}} \approx 6.15 \times 10^{7} \] Now, taking the square root to find \( v \): \[ v \approx \sqrt{6.15 \times 10^{7}} \approx 7.81 \times 10^{3} \, m/s \] ### Step 4: Calculate the de Broglie wavelength The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \lambda = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{(9.1 \times 10^{-31})(7.81 \times 10^{3})} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( \lambda \) Calculating the denominator: \[ mv = (9.1 \times 10^{-31})(7.81 \times 10^{3}) \approx 7.10 \times 10^{-27} \] Now substituting back into the wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{7.10 \times 10^{-27}} \approx 9.28 \times 10^{-8} \, m \] ### Final Answer The de Broglie wavelength of the electron is approximately: \[ \lambda \approx 9.28 \times 10^{-8} \, m \] ---
