If the linear momentum of a proton is changed by $p_0$,then the de Broglie wavelength associated with the proton changes by $0.25 \%$. Then the initial linear momentum of the proton is

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:

The temperature of an ideal gas in $3$-dimensions is $300\, K$. The corresponding de-Broglie wavelength of the electron approximately at $300\, K$ is $....\, nm$.
