[Take Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,mass of electron $m = 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$,charge of electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$] (in $nm$)

An electron (mass $m$) with initial velocity $\overrightarrow{v} = v_{0} \hat{i} + v_{0} \hat{j}$ is in an electric field $\overrightarrow{E} = -E_{0} \hat{k}$. If $\lambda_{0}$ is the initial de-Broglie wavelength of the electron,its de-Broglie wavelength at time $t$ is given by:

The additional energy that should be given to an electron to reduce its de-Broglie wavelength from $1 \ nm$ to $0.5 \ nm$ is
