  • A
    Wavelength is increased to $\sqrt{2}$ times.
  • B

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:

The energy that should be added to an electron to reduce its de-Broglie wavelength from $\lambda$ to $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ is $n$ times the initial energy. The value of $n$ is
