a) Consider an alpha-particle of mass mα and kinetic energy 4.7 MeV. Calculate its velocity and compare it to the speed of light. [2 marks] b) Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the alpha-particle in a) and express your result in fm (femtometer).
a.Mass of alpha particle
Kg
Since , K.E of alpha particle is
Velocity of the alpha particle,
So,
b.de Broglie wave length of the alpha particle is,
