The de-Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ of a particle

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity $v = c / 2$ ($c$ is the velocity of light in vacuum) is equal to the wavelength of a photon. The ratio of the kinetic energies of the electron and the photon is:

The graph which shows the variation of the de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ of a particle and its associated momentum $(p)$ is

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{A} = \frac{m}{2}$ moving along the $x$-axis with velocity $v_{0}$ collides elastically with another particle $B$ at rest having mass $m_{B} = \frac{m}{3}$. If both particles move along the $x$-axis after the collision,the change $\Delta \lambda$ in the de-Broglie wavelength of particle $A$,in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength $(\lambda_{0})$ before the collision is:
