How rapidly would each of the following particles be moving if they all had the same wavelength as a photon of red light \((\lambda=750 \mathrm{nm}) ?\) a. An electron of mass \(9.10938 \times 10^{-28} \mathrm{g}\) b. A proton of mass \(1.67262 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{g}\) c. A neutron of mass \(1.67493 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{g}\) d. An \(\alpha\) particle of mass \(6.64 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{g}\)
