The de Broglie wavelength of a tennis ball of mass 60 g moving with a velocity of 10 meters per second is approximately

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 10-31 meters
  • B 10-16 meters
  • C 10-25 meters
  • D 10-33 meters

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

As per de-Broglie wavelength of a particle is

Wavelength ( λ\lambda ) = hmv{h \over {mv}}

Where h is plank's constant, m is mass of the particle and v is the velocity of the particle

∴λ\therefore \lambda = 6.63×10−340.06×10{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {0.06 \times 10}}

= 6.63×10−34×100.6×10{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 10} \over {0.6 \times 10}}

= 6.63×10−336{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 33}}} \over 6}

≅10−33\cong 10{}^{ - 33}
