ANSWER:
(a) 4.73*10^-30 m
(b) 2.37*10^-19 times smaller
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Given:
Mass of ball = m = 0.10 kg
Speed of ball = v = 1.4x10^-3 m/s
(a)
Since, de Broglie wavelength is given by:
[tex]\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]Where, h is the Plank's Constant ( h = 6.626x10^-34 kg m^2/s). Therefore, de Broglie wavelength of the ball will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \lambda=\frac{6.626\cdot10^{-34}}{0.10\cdot1.4\cdot10^{-3}} \\ \lambda_{\text{ball}}=4.73\cdot10^{-30} \end{gathered}[/tex](b)
[tex]\begin{gathered} \lambda_{electron}=2\cdot10^{-11} \\ \frac{\lambda_{\text{ball}}}{\lambda_{electron}}=\frac{4.73\cdot10^{-30}}{2\cdot10^{-11}} \\ \frac{\lambda_{\text{ball}}}{\lambda_{electron}}=2.37\cdot10^{-19} \end{gathered}[/tex]It means that the wavelength of the ball is 2.37*10^-19 times smaller
