To calculate the de Broglie wavelength for a 2.00 keV electron, photon, and neutron, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a 2.00 keV electron. 1. **Convert the kinetic energy from keV to joules**: \[ KE = 2.00 \, \text{keV} = 2.00 \times 10^3 \, \text{eV} = 2.00 \times 10^3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} = 3.2 \times 10^{-16} \, \text{J} \] ...
