Answer

$7.09\times 10^{-11}$ $m$

Work Step by Step

The de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ is express by the formula, $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$, where $h$ is the planck's constant and $p$ is the momentum of the moving particle. Here, $p=9.35\times 10^{-24}$ $kg.m.s^{-1}$ $\therefore\lambda=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.35\times 10^{-24}}$ $m$ or, $\lambda\approx7.09\times 10^{-11}$ $m$ Therefore, the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is $7.09\times 10^{-11}$ $m$.
