Question 11.15: What is the de Broglie wavelength of
(a) a bullet of mass 0.040 kg traveling at the speed of 1.0 km/s,
(b) a ball of mass 0.060 kg moving at a speed of 1.0 m/s, and
(c) a dust particle of mass 1.0 x kg drifting with a speed of 2.2 m/s?
(a)
Hint: \(\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\)
Step 1: Find the wavelength of the bullet.
Mass of the bullet, m = 0.040 kg
Speed of the bullet, v = 1.0 km/s = 1000 m/s
Planck's constant, h =6.6 x Js
De Broglie wavelength of the bullet is given by the relation:
(b)
Hint: \(\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\)
Step 1: Find the wavelength of the ball.
Mass of the ball, m = 0.060 kg
Speed of the ball, v = 1.0 m/s
De Broglie wavelength of the ball is given by the relation:
(c)
Hint: \(\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\)
Step 1: Find the wavelength of the dust particle.
Mass of the dust particle, kg
Speed of the dust particle, v = 2.2 m/s
De Broglie wavelength of the dust particle is given by the relation:
