The de-Broglie wavelength of a particle having kinetic energy $E$ is $\lambda$. How much extra energy must be given to this particle so that the de-Broglie wavelength reduces to $75 \%$ of the initial value?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{9} E$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{9} E$
  • C
    $E$
  • D
    $\frac{16}{9} E$
