A proton, a neutron, an electron and an α-particle have same energy. Then their de Broglie wavelengths compare as

 6

An electron is moving with an initial velocity and is in a magnetic field Then it’s de Broglie wavelength

 8

An electron (mass m) with an initial velocity is in an electric field If , it’s de Breoglie wavelength at time t is given by

 9

Relativistic corrections become necessary when the expression for the kinetic energy becomes comparable with mc2, where m is the mass of the particle. At what de Broglie wavelength will relativistic corrections become important for an electron?
