What is the wavelength of an electron? What does it indicate?
(N/A) The wavelength of an electron is calculated using the de Broglie relation $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$.
This wavelength is relatively long compared to the wavelength of matter and indicates that the electron possesses wave-particle duality,specifically exhibiting wave nature.
