The kinetic energy of a free electron increases to $3$ times the previous kinetic energy $(K.E.)$. The ratio of the new de-Broglie wavelength to the previous de-Broglie wavelength is:

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:

The de Broglie wavelength of a molecule in a gas at room temperature $(300 \ K)$ is $\lambda_1$. If the temperature of the gas is increased to $600 \ K$,then the de Broglie wavelength of the same gas molecule becomes $..............$.
