Question #a20e7 Chemistry Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom DeBroglie: Wave Characteristics of Matter 1 Answer IDKwhatName Jul 21, 2017 2.70⋅10−12m Explanation: de Brogile wavelength - λ=hp=hv⋅me, where: λ = de brogile wavelength (m) h = Planck's constant (6m63⋅10−34J s) p = momentum of the particle (kg m s−1) v = velocity of the particle (m s−1) me = electron mass = (9.11⋅10−31kg) c≈3⋅108m s−1 0.9c=2.7⋅108m s−1 λ=6.63⋅10−34(2.7⋅108)(9.11⋅10−31)≈2.70⋅10−12m Answer link Related questions What is the de Broglie equation?
