As we learnt in 

De-broglie wavelength -

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}= \frac{h}{p}

- wherein

where m is the mass of the particle

v its velocity 

p its momentum

 

 \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{{6.63} \times {10^{-34}}} {{1.67} \times {10^{-27}} \times {10^3}}

        =0.40 nm

 


Option 1)

Correct

Option 3)

2.5 \: nm

Incorrect

Option 4)

14.0 \: nm
