Photons of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on the cathode of a photocell. Electrons are emitted from the cathode surface. The de-Broglie wavelength of the emitted electrons is (work function is negligible).
($c =$ velocity of light,$h =$ Planck's constant,$m =$ mass of electron)

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:

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference such that its kinetic energy is $1.5 \ eV$. The de-Broglie wavelength associated with this electron is:
