Consider an atom traveling at 1% of the speed of light. The de Broglie wavelength is found to be 3.31 × 10^-3 pm. Which element is this? A) P B) Ca C) He D) F E) Be

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength formula is λ = h / (mv), where h is Planck's constant, m is mass, and v is velocity. Given the wavelength and velocity, we can solve for mass and identify the element. The calculated mass corresponds to calcium (Ca).
