What is the speed of a particle of mass 10-27kg... - JAMB Physics 1999 Question
What is the speed of a particle of mass 10-27kg whose wavelength is 10-8m.
[h = 6.63 x 10-34Js]
[h = 6.63 x 10-34Js]
A
6.63ms-1
B
66.30ms-1
C
663.00ms-1
D
6630.00ms-1
correct option: b
Energy of a particle is given by
E = hf = hV/λ (since V = fxλ)
But in terms of mass M, E = ∆MV2
∴ ∆MV2 = hV/λ
∆MV = h/λ
∴ V = h/λ∆M
V = 6.63 x 10-34/(10-27 x 10-8)
V = 6.63 x 10-34/10-35
V = 6.63 x 10-34+35
V = 6.63 x 10
V = 66.3ms-1
