Using Planck’s constant as h = 6.63 E-34 J*s, what is the wavelength of a proton with a speed of 5.00 E6 m/s? The mass of a proton is 1.66 E-27 kg.

  1. The de Broglie wavelength (which is what you're looking for) is:

    λ = h/(m∙v) = (6.63 E-34) / [(1.66 E-27)(5 E6)]

    I don't have a calculator, but that should come out to around 8 E-14m (I think).
