Answer»

λ= h/mv [de-Broglie wavelength]

From E = hv [Plank's equation]

h = E/v

Write the dimension of each quantity in the above relation

λ = wavelength = [L] ,

h = Energy / frequency = Energy x time = [ML2T-2][T] = [ML2T-1]

mv = mass x velocity = momentum = [MLT-1]

--

LHS = [L]

RHS = [ML2T-1] / [MLT-1] = [L]

We see that dimensions of both sides are equal to [L]

The given relation is correct.
