Solution

Step1: Given data

A body of mass, m=10mg

Velocity, v=100m/s

h=6.63×10-34Js

Step 2: De-Broglie equation

  1. At the subatomic level, quantum mechanics assumes that matter behaves both like a wave and like a particle.
  2. According to the De Broglie equation, every moving particle can operate as a wave at times and as a particle at other times. The matter wave, also referred to as the De Broglie wave is a wave that is connected with moving particles.
  3. The de Broglie wavelength is the name for the wavelength.

Step3 Formula used

λ=hmv[whereλ=de-Brogliewavelength,h=height,m=mass,v=velocity]

Step4: Calculating the de-Broglie wavelength

m=10mg=10×10-6kg[As,1mg=10-6kg]

Substituting all the given value's in the de-Broglie wavelength formula

λ=hmvλ=6.63×10-3410×10-6×100λ=6.626×10-31m

Hence, the wavelength of the de-Broglie wave associated with it would be 6.626×10-31m.
