Question

A peak value of this quantity is given by 2898 micrometers-kelvin over the temperature by Wien’s displacement law. 1.22 times this quantity over the diameter of an aperture gives a limit of angular resolution called the Rayleigh Criterion. Planck’s constant over mc gives the ‘Compton” form of this quantity, (15[1]-5[1])while Planck’s (-5[1])constant over an object’s linear momentum gives the (*) de Broglie (“duh-BROY”) value of this quantity. The speed of light over frequency gives this quantity. For 10 points, lambda symbolizes what quantity, the distance between (10[1])two peaks of a wave? (0[1])■END■

ANSWER: wavelength [accept de Broglie wavelength; prompt on lambda]
