An electron of mass $m$ is moving in an electric field $\vec{E} = -2E_0\hat{i}$ $(E_0 = \text{constant} > 0)$, with an initial velocity $\vec{V} = v_0\hat{i}$ $(v_0 = \text{constant} > 0)$. If $\lambda_0 = \frac{h}{mv_0}$, its de Broglie wavelength at time $t$ is . . . . . . .

The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of an $\alpha$-particle to that of a proton,when both are subjected to the same magnetic field such that the radii of their paths are equal,assuming the magnetic field induction vector $\vec{B}$ is perpendicular to the velocity vectors of the $\alpha$-particle and the proton,is:

An electron of mass $m$ is accelerated through a potential difference of $V$. Its de Broglie wavelength is $\lambda$. If a proton of mass $M$ is accelerated through the same potential difference,its de Broglie wavelength will be ..............

The velocity of a particle $A$ is $3$ times the velocity of a proton. If the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of the particle $A$ and the proton is $3:2$,the mass of the particle $A$ is (where $m_{p}$ is the mass of the proton).
