An electron in an electron microscope with initial velocity $v_{0} \hat{i}$ enters a region of a stray transverse electric field $E_{0} \hat{j}$. The time taken for the change in its de-Broglie wavelength from the initial value of $\lambda$ to $\lambda / 3$ is proportional to

If the momentum of an electron is changed by $\Delta P,$ then the de Broglie wavelength associated with it changes by $0.5\%.$ The initial momentum of the electron will be

The ratio of de Broglie wavelength of a deuteron with kinetic energy $E$ to that of an alpha particle with kinetic energy $2E$ is $n:1$. The value of $n$ is . . . . . . .

Explain how,according to Born's probability interpretation,a wave having a single (unique) wavelength is extended all over space.

If $E_p$ and $E_e$ represent the kinetic energy of a photon and an electron respectively. If the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_p$ of a photon is twice the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$ of an electron,then $E_e / E_p$ is (Speed of electron $= C/100$,where $C$ is the velocity of light).
