Problem 1B.21 Calculating Wavelength

Postby Jayza Calderon 2A » Tue Oct 19, 2021 10:36 am

I am unsure where to start with this problem? As well as how to use the mph.

It reads,
A baseball must weigh between 5.00 and 5.25 ounces (1 ounce=28.3g). What is the wavelength of a 5.15-ounce baseball thrown at 92 mph?

using the mass and speed of the baseball give you the momentum of the ball, us the de broglie wavelength equation to figure out hte wavelength.

Do I convert the grams to kilograms?

Yes, because the De Broglie equation uses kilograms.
