According to the de-Broglie hypothesis, the ratio of the wavelength of a photon and that of an electron having the same energy $E$ is $(m = \text{mass of electron}, c = \text{velocity of light})$

  • A
    $\frac{1}{c}\sqrt{\frac{E}{2m}}$
  • B
    $c\sqrt{\frac{2m}{E}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{c}\sqrt{\frac{m}{2E}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2m}{E}}$

If the de Broglie wavelengths of an electron and a proton are equal,then what will be the kinetic energy of the electron?

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{A} = \frac{m}{2}$ moving along the $x$-axis with velocity $v_{0}$ collides elastically with another particle $B$ at rest having mass $m_{B} = \frac{m}{3}$. If both particles move along the $x$-axis after the collision,the change $\Delta \lambda$ in the de-Broglie wavelength of particle $A$,in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength $(\lambda_{0})$ before the collision is:
