Q8 / 52 · KVPY 2017 (19 Nov SA) · Chemistry

$\mathrm{C}_{60}$ emerging from a source at a speed (v) has a de Broglie wavelength of $11.0 Å$. The value of $\mathrm{v}\left(\mathrm{inm} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\right.$ ) is closest to [Planck's constant $\left.h=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}\right]$

  • Correct answer
    A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $5.0$
  • D
    30

Solution

$\lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{mv}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{m} \cdot \lambda}=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34}}{720 \times 10^{-3} \times 11 \times 10^{-10}}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
