The velocity of electrons! (question)

Can someone tell me if I'm right? I used this walkthrough I found to get my answer but I used a different wavelength for my experiment. Here's the link:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th...ength_of_235nm

I did the same thing except I used a wavelength of 400 nm and my answer was 2038 m/s. This is one of my first problems with this and I was just curious if anyone could comfirn this answer or if I failed horribly.

Thanks.

Thanks that helped out a lot. Is 220 a big difference when measuring velocity? Becuase my answer was off by 220. (meters per second)

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
