The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of an electron given its de Broglie wavelength, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the de Broglie wavelength formula The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where: - \( \lambda \) is the de Broglie wavelength, - \( h \) is the Planck constant, - \( m \) is the mass of the particle (electron in this case), - \( v \) is the velocity of the particle. ### Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for velocity We can rearrange the formula to solve for the velocity (\( v \)): \[ v = \frac{h}{m \lambda} \] ### Step 3: Substitute known values Now we can substitute the known values into the equation: - The Planck constant \( h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \) - The mass of the electron \( m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} \) - The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda = 1 \, \text{Å} = 1 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) Substituting these values into the equation: \[ v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{9.11 \times 10^{-31} \times 1 \times 10^{-10}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the velocity Now, we perform the calculation: \[ v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{9.11 \times 10^{-41}} = 7.27 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 5: Final result Thus, the velocity of the electron is approximately: \[ v \approx 7.27 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m/s} \]
