Calculate the wavelength of a particle of mass m = 6.62 xx 10^(-27) kg moving with kinetic energy 7.425 xx 10^(-13) J (h = 6.626 xx 10^(-34) kg m^2 sec^(-1)) .

In Millikan's oil drop experiment. What is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius 2.0 times 10^-5 m and density 1.2 times 10^3 kg m^-3 . Take the viscosity of air at the temperature of the experiment to be 1.8 times 10^-5 Pa s . How much is the viscosity force on the drop at that speed? Neglect buoyancy of the drop due to air.
