If the kinetic energy of an electron is 100 eV, ...

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 100 eV, what is the wavelength of the de-Broglie wave associated with it? [h = 6.6 x 1034 J s, e = 1.6 x 1019C, me, = 9.1 x 1031 kg]

A.

1.22 x 1010m

B.

4.10 x 1010m

C.

3.90 x 1010m

D.

5.50 x 1014m

Correct answer is D

de broglie wavelength formula in terms of kinetic energy:

 λ = h2mE 

 λ = 6.6103429.11031100

 λ = 5.50 x 1014m
