Using the equation,
\lambda = \frac{h}{p}
where h is the Planck's constant, p is the momentum of the particle.
Given, v= 2.5\times 10^{6}m/s,m = mass of proton, h = Planck's constantThe momentum of proton,p= m \times v
Putting the values, we get
\lambda =6.626\times 10^{-34} /\left ( 1.67\times10^{-27}\times2.5\times10^{6} \right )= 0.00016nm.
