Homework Statement
Ok, question is: " Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for an electron that has kinetic energy a)50.0 eV b) 50.0 keV and c) 3.00 eV d) What If? A photon has energy 3.00 eV. Find its wavelength.
Homework Equations
E=hf
1/2 m(v^2)
*lambda* = Planck's constant / momentum
The Attempt at a Solution
Was just going to use E = hf then find wavelength from f, but realized that v is unknown unless I can use classical equation K=1/2m(v^2) but I was not sure I can do this? If I can, problem is easy, if I can't... will need some help... Thanks!
