Answer

$\lambda=6.67943\times10^{-12}m$

Work Step by Step

Energy of $\gamma$ ray photon is $E= 0.186MeV=0.186\times10^{6}eV$ $1eV$ is equal to $1.6\times10^{-19}J $ so $0.186\times10^{6}eV$ is equal to $0.186\times10^{6}\times 1.6\times10^{-19}J $ $E=0.2976\times10^{-13}J$ From Plank's hypothesis $E=hf=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ $\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}$ putting the values of $h=6.626\times10^{-34}J.s$, $E=0.2976\times10^{-13}J$,, $c=3\times10^{8}m/s$ $\lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times10^{8}m/s}{0.2976\times10^{-13}J}$ $\lambda=66.7943\times10^{-13}m$ $\lambda=6.67943\times10^{-12}m$
