Question in incomplete, complete question is:
Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?
Answer:
is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.
Explanation:
To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:
where,
= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?
h = Planck's constant =
m = mass of beta particle =
= kinetic energy of the particle =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.
