For which of the following particles will it be most difficult to experimentally verify the de Broglie relationship?

$A$ beam of electrons of energy $E$ scatters from a target having atomic spacing of $1 \, Å$. The first maximum intensity occurs at $\theta = 60^{\circ}$. Then $E$ (in $eV$) is: (Planck constant $h = 6.64 \times 10^{-34} \, Js$, $1 \, eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, J$, electron mass $m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$)

$A$ proton and an alpha particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of the proton to that of the alpha particle will be (mass of alpha particle is four times the mass of the proton,and the charge of the alpha particle is twice the charge of the proton).

$A$ particle of mass $M$ at rest decays into two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$,having non-zero velocities. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particles,$\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$ is
