Units for DeBrogile Equation
What are all the units that should be used when a value is being calculated with the DeBrogile equation? I kept mixing my units up during Sapling problems.

Re: Units for DeBrogile Equation
I put in the wrong units many times and now I can finally remember it. The unit for mass is different from when we calculate the molar mass stuff. It is kilograms. And velocity should be in m/s.

Re: Units for DeBrogile Equation
For this equation, and the majority of other equations, you would use SI Units. So kg for mass, meters for wavelength, and meters per second for velocity.

J x Sec for planks constant. m/s for velocity and meters for position (x)

Re: Units for DeBrogile Equation
For the DeBroglie Equation:
Mass=kilograms(kg)
Velocity=meters per second(m/s)
Wavelength=meters(m)
Mass=kilograms(kg)
Velocity=meters per second(m/s)
Wavelength=meters(m)

Re: Units for DeBrogile Equation
The only real exception to standard units is kg for mass, so as to cancel Joules properly (kg^2 m^2 / s^2).

Re: Units for DeBrogile Equation
Mass would be measured in kilograms, while velocity would be in meters per second, and wavelength would be measured in meters.

Re: Units for DeBrogile Equation
When you use the De Broglie equation, the units are meters (m) for wavelength, kilograms (kg) for mass, and meters per second (m/s) for velocity.
