  • A
    $1: 8$
  • B
    $1: 2$

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 alpha particle moves along a circular path of radius $0.5 \ mm$ in a magnetic field of $2 \times 10^{-2} \ T$. The de Broglie wavelength associated with the alpha particle is nearly (Planck's constant $= 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$)

If the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is $2 \ nm$,then its kinetic energy is nearly (Planck's constant $= 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$ and mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$) (in $eV$)

The potential energy of a particle of mass $m$ is given by $U(x) = \begin{cases} E_0, & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0, & x > 1 \end{cases}$. Let $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ be 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 $2E_0$,find $(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)^2$.
