Answer

(a) $\lambda = 1.1\times 10^{-34}~m$ (b) $v = 1.7\times 10^{-23}~m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the de Broglie wavelength: $\lambda = \frac{h}{m~v}$ $\lambda = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s}{(0.200~kg)(30~m/s)}$ $\lambda = 1.1\times 10^{-34}~m$ (b) We can find the speed: $\lambda = \frac{h}{m~v}$ $v = \frac{h}{m~\lambda}$ $v = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s}{(0.200~kg)(0.20\times 10^{-9}~m)}$ $v = 1.7\times 10^{-23}~m/s$
