First, use the Einstein equation E = mc^2 to obtain the energy of the proton.
E = (1.673 x 10 ^ -27) (2.83 x 10 ^ 4) ^2
= 1.3399 x 10 ^ -18 J
= 8.363 eV
Then equal the energy to E = hf = hc/ lamda.
Where lamda is the Broglie wavelength.
lamda = (hc) / (1.3399 x 10 ^ -18)
= 1.484 x 10 ^ -7 m
according to de Broglie,
l=h/p=h/mv
where l=wavelength
h=Planck's constant with value 6.626*10^-34 Js.
p=momentum of particle which in turn is equal to product of mass and velocity of particle
m=mass of particle
v= velocity of particle
l=(6.626*10^-34)/(1.673810^-27 *2.83*10^4)
=1.399*10^-11 m
