Understanding the Wave Nature of Electrons

Who was the scientist that first proposed the wave nature of electrons?

• Erwin Schrödinger

• Louis de Broglie

• Niels Bohr

• Albert Einstein

What does the de Broglie relation describe?

• The speed of light

• The wavelength of a particle

• The energy of a photon

• The mass of an electron

In the de Broglie equation, what does 'H' represent?

• The velocity of the particle

• The speed of light

• Planck's constant

• The mass of the particle

What is the mass of an electron used in the calculation example?

• 9.11 * 10^-31 kg

• 1.67 * 10^-27 kg

• 1.60 * 10^-19 kg

• 6.63 * 10^-34 kg

What is the calculated wavelength of an electron traveling at 6.04 * 10^7 m/s?
