An electron of mass $m_{e}$ and a proton of mass $m_{p}$ are moving with the same speed. The ratio of their de-Broglie's wavelengths $\lambda_{e} / \lambda_{p}$ is

If an electron has an energy such that its de-Broglie wavelength is $5500 \ \text{Å}$,then the energy value of that electron is $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{Js}, m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ \text{kg})$.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron with a kinetic energy of $200 \ eV$. [Mass of electron $= 1 \times 10^{-30} \ kg$,charge on electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$,Planck's constant $(h) = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ Js$].

If $E_p$ and $E_e$ represent the kinetic energy of a photon and an electron respectively. If the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_p$ of a photon is twice the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$ of an electron,then $E_e / E_p$ is (Speed of electron $= C/100$,where $C$ is the velocity of light).

The potential energy of a particle of mass $m$ is given by $U(x) = \begin{cases} E_0; & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0; & x > 1 \end{cases}$. $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particle when $0 \le x \le 1$ and $x > 1$ respectively. If the total energy of the particle is $2 E_0$,the ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ will be:
