calculate the speed of an electon which has a de broglie wave length of 1.3x10-10m


can anyone help me with this question I've never had one like this come up so i haven't a clue what to do, with only 2 weeks to my a-level exams

Have you come across the de Broglie relation
[tex]\lambda = \frac{h}{p}[/tex]
for matter waves?
