Calculate the wavelength of a football (425 g)thrown by an NFL quarterback traveling at 50 mph. A) 4.00 × 10^-27 nm B) 6.60 × 10^-25 nm C) 7.17 × 10^{-26 n}m D) 3.78 × 10^-25 nm E) 6.97 × 10^-26 nm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength is calculated using λ = h / (mv), where h is Planck's constant, m is mass, and v is velocity. Converting 50 mph to meters per second and using the given mass, the wavelength is approximately 6.97 × 10^-26 nm.
