Problem

A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 500 V500\,\text{V}. Calculate its de Broglie wavelength. (Take Planck’s constant h=6.63×10−34 J sh = 6.63\times10^{-34}\,\text{J s}, proton mass mp=1.67×10−27 kgm_p = 1.67\times10^{-27}\,\text{kg} and elementary charge e=1.6×10−19 Ce = 1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}.) (a) 0.41 pm0.41\,\text{pm} (b) 2.6 pm2.6\,\text{pm} (c) 1.3 pm1.3\,\text{pm} (d) 1.8 pm1.8\,\text{pm}
