The potential energy of a particle of mass $m$ is given by $U(x) = \begin{cases} E_0; & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0; & x > 1 \end{cases}$. $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particle when $0 \le x \le 1$ and $x > 1$ respectively. If the total energy of the particle is $2 E_0$,the ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ will be:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
