An electron accelerated through a potential difference $V_1$ has a de-Broglie wavelength of $\lambda$. When the potential is changed to $V_2$,its de-Broglie wavelength increases by $50 \%$. The value of $\left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)$ is equal to :

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $4$

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{A} = \frac{m}{2}$ moving along the $x$-axis with velocity $v_{0}$ collides elastically with another particle $B$ at rest having mass $m_{B} = \frac{m}{3}$. If both particles move along the $x$-axis after the collision,the change $\Delta \lambda$ in the de-Broglie wavelength of particle $A$,in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength $(\lambda_{0})$ before the collision is:

An electron is travelling with a velocity $v$ in free space and when it enters a medium, its velocity is reduced by $20\%$. The de Broglie wavelength of electron in the medium is $\alpha\lambda_0$, where $\lambda_0$ is its de Broglie wavelength in free space. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .
