Compute the typical de-Broglie wavelength of an electrons in a metal at `27^(@)C` and compare it with the mean separation between two electrons in a metal which is given to be about `2xx10^(-10)m`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Using the same formula as, `lambda = 6.2 xx 10^(-9) m` which is much greater than the given inter-electron separation.
