The work done to accelerate an electron from rest so that it can have a de Broglie wavelength of $6600 \text{ Å}$ is nearly (Planck's constant $= 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J s}$ and mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$)

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron with a kinetic energy of $200 \ eV$. [Mass of electron $= 1 \times 10^{-30} \ kg$,charge on electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$,Planck's constant $(h) = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ Js$].

The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of a proton and an electron having the same kinetic energy is: (Assume $m_p = 1849 \times m_e$)

The de Broglie wavelength and kinetic energy of a particle are $2000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $1 \ \text{eV}$ respectively. If its kinetic energy becomes $1 \ \text{MeV}$,then its de Broglie wavelength becomes $...... \ \mathring{A}$.

If the kinetic energies of an electron, an alpha particle, and a proton having the same de-Broglie wavelength are $\varepsilon_1, \varepsilon_2$, and $\varepsilon_3$ respectively, then:
