Question

12.Calculate the wavelength of an object moving with a velocity of 5 x105 m s-1

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m$

Explanation:

We have,

Velocity of the object, $v=5\times 10^5\ m/s$

Mass of the object, $m=4\times 10^{-22}\ kg$

It is required to find the wavelength of the object. The relation between wavelength and velocity of the object is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}$

h is Planck's constant

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\times 10^{-22}\times 5\times 10^5}\\\\\lambda=3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the object is $3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m$.
