$A$ proton moving with one-tenth of the velocity of light has a certain de Broglie wavelength of $\lambda$. An alpha particle having a certain kinetic energy has the same de Broglie wavelength $\lambda$. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the proton to that of the alpha particle is:

Electrons are accelerated through a potential difference $V$ and protons are accelerated through a potential difference $4V$. The de-Broglie wavelengths are $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ for electrons and protons respectively. The ratio of $\frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}$ is given by: (given $m_e$ is the mass of the electron and $m_p$ is the mass of the proton).

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron having $80 eV$ energy is nearly ($1 eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$,Mass of the electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} kg$,Planck's constant $= 6.6 \times 10^{-34} J-s$). (in $Å$)
