The kinetic energies of an electron,$\alpha$-particle,and a proton are given as $4K, 2K$,and $K$ respectively. The de-Broglie wavelengths associated with the electron $(\lambda_e)$,$\alpha$-particle $(\lambda_\alpha)$,and the proton $(\lambda_p)$ are related as follows:

The de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron accelerated through a potential difference $V$ is $\lambda_e$ and the de Broglie wavelength associated with a proton accelerated through the same potential difference is $\lambda_p$. If their corresponding masses are $m_e$ and $m_p$, respectively, then the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths is . . . . . . .

The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of $10^{-15} \;m$ or less. This structure was first probed in early $1970s$ using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford,$USA$. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron $= 0.511 \;MeV$.)

The kinetic energy of a free electron increases to $3$ times the previous kinetic energy $(K.E.)$. The ratio of the new de-Broglie wavelength to the previous de-Broglie wavelength is:

An electron of charge $e$ and mass $m$ moving with an initial velocity $v_0 \hat{i}$ is subjected to an electric field $E_0 \hat{j}$. The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron at a time $t$ is (Initial de-Broglie wavelength of the electron $= \lambda_0$)
