The de Broglie wavelength of an electron is 8.7 10-11 m The mass of an electron is 9.1 10-31 kg The velocity of this electron is ms?

wavelength = h/p (h= Plancks constant = 6.636*10^-34 kg*m^2/s) p=m*v Combining these gives us v=h/(m*wavelength)=8.37*10^6 m/s

When hydrogen electrons goes from n equals 3 to n equals 1 what happens?

When an electron goes from a higher state to a lower state, it gives up energy equal to the difference of energy levels of the two states. This energy is in the form of a photon. If it goes directly from n=3 to n=1, then 1 photon is emitted. If it transitions from n=3 to n=2, then from n=2 to n=1, two (2) photons are emitted. Energy level of n=3 for Hydrogen is -1.511 eV (electron volts) Energy level of n=2 for Hydrogen is -3.4 eV (electron volts) Energy level of n=3 for Hydrogen is -13.6 eV (electron volts) The energy levels are 'more negative' at lower levels because the electron becomes more bound to the atom. From n=3 to 1 (gives up 12.089 eV, or a photon with wavelength 102.518 nm - ultraviolet light) From n=3 to 2 (gives up 1.889 eV, or a photon with wavelength 656.112 nm - red light) From n=2 to 1 (gives up 10.2 eV, or a photon with wavelength 121.5 nm - ultraviolet) See related link post.

What theory describes the wave properties of electrons?

When in motion, electrons (indeed, all sub-atomic particles) exhibit wave-like properties such a destructive and constructive interference. In the same way that EM radiation (ie, light) going through two slits will result in an interference pattern at a detector behind the two slits, electrons going through two slits will result in exactly the same kind of pattern -- even if the electrons go through the slits one at a time. The wavelength (λ) of a moving electron is given by λ = h/p where 'h' is Planck's Constant and 'p' is the electron's momentum. The calculation of the PROBABILITY of an electron, when within a specific energy field, being in a specific place is best calculated using the Schroendinger Equation. If you research this equation, you'll find two things: (1) it's an equation that gives results resembling a wave and (2) scientists still argue WHAT (if anyone) is actually waving. We still haven't decided if an electron's wavelength is a physical reality (like photons) or just a mathematical trick we use for simplicity.


What was your average wavelength when the waves had a 10cm amplitude?

There isn't any. The amplitude gives no information about the frequency or wavelength, and is completely unrelated to them.
