What is the wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of 2.0 into 10 to the power 7 m per second?

Answer :

The wavelength of an electron is 0.363 × 10⁻¹⁰m if it is moving with a velocity of 2×10⁷m/sec

For an electron energy relation with frequency and wavelength is same as photon have, but the wavelength relation for an electron is different from photon wavelength relation.

According to de-broglie postulates, we know that if a electron is moving with velocity v and having mass m, then its wavelength is given by

Wavelength=(plank's constant)/(mass of electron × velocity of electron)

=>λ = h/(m × v)

Plank's constant value is independent of external effects like temperature, pressure, work, torque etc.

Now, we know that h=6.62×10⁻³⁴(J/m)-sec

mass of electron =9.1×10⁻³¹Kg

and velocity of electron=2×10⁷m/sec

So,λ =(6.62×10⁻³⁴(J/m)-sec) / (9.1×10⁻³¹Kg×2×10⁷m/sec)

=>λ = (6.62×10⁻³⁴) / (18.2×10⁻²⁴)

=>λ=0.363 × 10⁻¹⁰m

Hence, wavelength of electron is 0.363 × 10⁻¹⁰m.
