Answer

5.39 nm

Work Step by Step

Recall that de Broglie wavelength is $\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$ where $h$ is the Planck's constant, $m$ is the mass and $v$ is the velocity. Substituting values, we have $ \lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\,J\cdot s}{(9.11\times10^{-31}\,kg)(1.35\times10^{5}\,m/s)}$ $=5.39\times10^{-9}\,m=5.39\,nm$
