The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of $1.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ is equal to that of a photon. What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the electron to that of the photon? (Given: $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$)

An electron of mass $m$ with an initial velocity $\vec{V} = V_0 \hat{i} \,(V_0 > 0)$ enters an electric field $\vec{E} = -E_0 \hat{i} \,(E_0 = \text{constant} > 0)$ at $t = 0$. If $\lambda_0$ is its de-Broglie wavelength initially,then its de-Broglie wavelength at time $t$ is:
