Question

Help answer this question below.

Why do I obtain incorrect value velocity v of de Broglie wave?

I have formula for wavelength
λ=h/mv
and for frequency
f=E/h=mv²/2h

And when I try to find velocity I must multiply λ by f and I get
v = λf = h/mv mv²/2h = v/2?

    Because your formula is incorrect. Just recheck your formula
