  • A
    $\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2h}{mE}$
  • C
    $2mhE$
  • D
    $\frac{2\sqrt{2mE}}{h}$

Two particles have the same charge. If they are accelerated through the same potential difference,what will be the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths?

The potential energy of a particle of mass $m$ is given by $U(x) = \begin{cases} E_0, & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0, & x > 1 \end{cases}$. Let $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ be 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 $2E_0$,find $(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)^2$.
