The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of $10^{-15} \;m$ or less. This structure was first probed in early $1970s$ using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford,$USA$. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron $= 0.511 \;MeV$.)

An electron of charge $e$ and mass $m$ moving with an initial velocity $v_0 \hat{i}$ is subjected to an electric field $E_0 \hat{j}$. The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron at a time $t$ is (Initial de-Broglie wavelength of the electron $= \lambda_0$)

If the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is $5200 \ \mathring{A}$,what is its velocity?

The de Broglie wavelength of a neutron at $27^{\circ}C$ is $\lambda$. What will be its de Broglie wavelength at $927^{\circ}C$?
