The "de Broglie wavelength" of an object with mass m and velocity v is
lambda = h/(m v)
where h is Planck's constant and m is the mass. This assumes that v is much less than c; otherwise use the relativistc momentum in the denominator.
Rearrange that equation and solve for velocity. I assume you know the values for h and the elctron mass.
