Question
What is the wavelength of a proton traveling at a speed of $6.58 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s} ?$ What would be the region of the spectrum for electromagnetic radiation of this wavelength?
Step 1
We know that 1 km = 1000 m, so we multiply the given speed by 1000. This gives us: \[v = 6.58 \, \text{km/s} \times 1000 = 6580 \, \text{m/s}\] Show more…
