NEET Chemistry Quantum Mechanical Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is 800 pm, what is its velocity?

A

9.1 × 10^3 m/s

B

89 × 10^6 m/s

C

5.5 × 10^5 m/s

D

5 × 10^7 m/s

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the de Broglie equation λ = h/mv, where h is Planck's constant (6.63 × 10^-34 Js), m is the mass of the electron (9.1 × 10^-31 kg), and λ is the wavelength (800 × 10^-12 m), solving for v gives the velocity.
