The wavelength of a charged particle of mass $8.0 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$, charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$ and kinetic energy $3 \ keV$ will be (Planck constant, $h = 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ Js$) (in $\text{Å}$)

When a particle is restricted to move along the $x$-axis between $x=0$ and $x=a$,where $a$ is of nanometer dimension,its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends $x=0$ and $x=a$. The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum $p$ of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass $m$ is related to its linear momentum as $E = \frac{p^2}{2m}$. Thus,the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number $n$ taking values $1, 2, 3, \ldots$ ($n=1$,called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave. Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving in the line $x=0$ to $x=a$. Take $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$ and $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$.

The de-Broglie wavelength of a moving bus with speed $v$ is $\lambda$. Some passengers left the bus at a stoppage. Now, when the bus moves with twice its initial speed, its kinetic energy is found to be twice its initial value. What is the de-Broglie wavelength of the bus now?
