What does the wavelength of electron if it moves with the speed of light?

-- First of all, since the electron has rest mass, it can never move at the speed
of light.
-- Following DeBroglie, the electron's wavelength is such that an integral number
of them fit around the length of the electron's orbit when it's bound to an atom.

What percentage of the speed of light in vacuum is the speed of light in water?
When light with wavelength of 589 nanometers moves through water at the temperature of 20° C, its speed is 75% of the speed of light in vacuum.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
What is the formula relating speed of light frequency and wavelength?
the speed of light equals the frequency multiplied by the wavelength.
How do wavelength and frequency relate to the speed of light?
c=lamda*f c is a constant, which is the speed of light, lamda is the wavelength which the light is traveling at, and f is the frequency of the light. All light travels at the speed of light no matter what colour, however ever colour tavels at different wavelengths and frequencies.
What happens to the velocity and wavelength of light when it passes from air into water?
The speed of the light decreases, and its wavelength increases by the same factor.
What percentage of the speed of light in vacuum is the speed of light in water?
When light with wavelength of 589 nanometers moves through water at the temperature of 20° C, its speed is 75% of the speed of light in vacuum.
What is de broglie's wavelength of electron in meters travelling at half a speed of light?
4.2*10-11
If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?
It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew it's speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
What is the formula relating speed of light frequency and wavelength?
the speed of light equals the frequency multiplied by the wavelength.
What is the speed of the solar signal in water with a frequency of1000 hertz and wavelength of 1.5?
I assume that a "solar signal" means light. Light moves at approximately 262 million meters per second in water, regardless of the frequency or wavelength of the light. Also, if light has a frequency of 1000 Hz, then it has a wavelength of 300 kilometers. The speed of light, c, is equal to the product of the frequency and the wavelength. In other words, c=f*w
What happenes to the frequency of light when its wavelength increases or decreases?
wavelength = speed of light/frequency so we rearrange frequency = speed of light/wavelength Hopefully you can figure it out from here...
How are frequncy and wavelength related?
Frequency = speed of light / wavelength
What is the formula for converting frequency of light into wavelength?
wavelength = c/frequency of light where c is the speed of light.
How do you calculate light wavelength to frequency?
To find (wavelength): Divide (speed) by (frequency). To find (frequency): Divide (speed) by (wavelength).
