Question

The De Broglie wavelength of electrons used in an experiment utilizing an electron microscope is 96.00pm. what is the speed of one of these electrons?

(De Broglie's equation is wavelength=6.63E-34 / (mass*velocity))
So plug in the numbers and solve for velocity. The mass of an electron is 9.11E-31 kg.
