A particle has a linear momentum of 4.0×10−22 g cm s−14.0\times10^{-22}\,{\rm g\,cm\,s^{-1}}. (i) Convert this momentum into SI units. (ii) Calculate the wavelength associated with the particle. (iii) Express your answer to part (ii) in nanometres and comment on whether this wavelength is of the same order as X‐ray wavelengths.
