<p>Rubidium atoms are cooled to 0.16 μK  inan atom trap. What is their de Broglie wavelength?</p>
<p>I used λ=h/√(2πmkT)and got 4.698x10^-7 m but it was wrong. Can't figure out for thelife of me what I did wrong. I converted mass to kg from amu, Kfrom μK, and used the correct constants(6.626e-34;1.38e-23)</p>
