What is the de Broglie wavelength of a bullet of mass 0.040 kg travelling at the speed of 1.0 km/s

Solution
Mass of the bullet, m = 0.040 kg
Speed of the bullet, v = 1.0 km/s = 1000 m/s
Planck’s constant, h = 6.6 × 10−34 Js
De Broglie wavelength of the bullet is given by the relation:
`lambda = h/mv`
`= (6.6 xx 10^(-34))/(0.040 xx 1000) = 1.65 xx 10^(-35) m`
