Answer

$8.86\times 10^{10}$ $rad.m^{-1}$

Work Step by Step

The angular wave number $(k)$ is related to the de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ by the expression $k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ Given $\lambda=7.09\times 10^{-11}$ $m$ $\therefore k=\frac{2\pi}{7.09\times 10^{-11}}$ $rad.m^{-1}$ or, $k=8.86\times 10^{10}$ $rad.m^{-1}$ Therefore, the angular wavenumber of the electron is $8.86\times 10^{10}$ $rad.m^{-1}$.
