A proton in a linear accelerator has a de Broglie wavelength of (1.43x102) pm. What is the speed of the proton (in m/s)?
From de Brogile wavelength, "\\lambda=\\frac{h}{mv}"
"velocity, v=h\/\\lambda m"
mass of proton, "m=1.673\\times10^{-27}kg"
Planck's constant, "h=6.626\\times 10^{-34}m^2kg\/s"
"wavelength, \\lambda=1.143\\times 10^{-7}m"
velocity, "v=\\frac{6.626\\times 10^{-34}}{1.43\\times 10^{-7} \\times 1.673\\times 10^{-27}}=2.7696m\/s"
