Electrons are accelerated through a potential difference $V$ and protons are accelerated through a potential difference $4V$. The de-Broglie wavelengths are $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ for electrons and protons respectively. The ratio of $\frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}$ is given by: (given $m_e$ is the mass of the electron and $m_p$ is the mass of the proton).

The de-Broglie wavelength of a moving bus with speed $v$ is $\lambda$. Some passengers left the bus at a stoppage. Now, when the bus moves with twice its initial speed, its kinetic energy is found to be twice its initial value. What is the de-Broglie wavelength of the bus now?
