The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of $10^{-15} \;m$ or less. This structure was first probed in early $1970s$ using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford,$USA$. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron $= 0.511 \;MeV$.)

The energy that should be added to an electron,to reduce its de-Broglie wavelength from $10^{-10} \ m$ to $0.5 \times 10^{-10} \ m$,will be

$A$ nucleus $A$,with a finite de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_A$,undergoes spontaneous fission into two nuclei $B$ and $C$ of equal mass. $B$ flies in the same direction as that of $A$,while $C$ flies in the opposite direction with a velocity equal to half of that of $B$. The de Broglie wavelengths $\lambda_B$ and $\lambda_C$ of $B$ and $C$ are respectively

The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of an $\alpha$-particle and a proton accelerated from rest by the same potential is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$. The value of $m$ is $........$

The de Broglie wavelength of an oxygen molecule at $27^{\circ} C$ is $x \times 10^{-12} \ m$. The value of $x$ is (take Planck's constant $= 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$, Boltzmann constant $= 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \ J/K$, mass of oxygen molecule $= 5.31 \times 10^{-26} \ kg$).
