Homework Statement
What is the velocity of an electron having a De Broglie wavelength that is approximately the length of a chemical bond? Assume this length to be 1.6 A
Homework Equations
wavelength= h/mv
The Attempt at a Solution
I fixed the equation to isolate the velocity
h/(m x wavelength)=v
However I am unsure what the unit A means beside the 1.6.
I thought wavelength is in a unit of measurement like m , nm
h is the plank's constant and
mass is the mass of an electron
