Answer

The wavelength is $~~6.04~pm$

Work Step by Step

We can find $\Delta \lambda$: $\Delta \lambda = \frac{h}{mc}~(1 - cos~\phi)$ $\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}~J~s}{(9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}~(1 - cos~120^{\circ})$ $\Delta \lambda = 3.64\times 10^{-12}~m$ We can find the new wavelength: $\lambda_f = (2.40~pm)+(3.64\times 10^{-12}~m)$ $\lambda_f = 6.04~pm$ The wavelength is $~~6.04~pm$
