Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions | The mass of an electron is 9.1 × 1

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Excercise ".$ex_no." , Question 21: the mass of an electron is 9 1 times 10 ndash 31....
Question 21

The mass of an electron is 9.1 × 10–31 kg. If its K.E. is 3.0 × 10–25 J, calculate its wavelength.

Answer

We know , KE = ½ mv2

Or

v = (2KE/M)1/2

Or

v = 811.579 m/s

Now putting the values in the de Broglie’s equation

We get

Hence, the wavelength of the electron is 8.9625 × 10–7 m.
