An electron is traveling with a velocity of 2.78x10^5 m/s 

A.  What is it's wavelength?

B.  What is it's frequency?

 f = V / W, Where f=frequency, V=Velocity of the wave, W=wavelength of the wave.

W=h/p, where h=Planck's Constant, p=is the momentum of the particle.

p=m x v, m=mass of the body, v=the velocity of the particle.

 

From these 3 formulas, you should be able to calculate the wavelength and the frequency of the electron. You can look up the Planck's Constant.
