Question

The potential energy of a particle of mass m is given by U(x)=E0;0x10;x>1  .  λ1 and λ2 are the de Broglie wavelengths of the particle, when 0  x  1 and x > 1 respectively. If the total energy of particle is 2E0,the ratio λ1λ2 will be 

Difficult
Solution

K.E=2E0E0=E0( for 0x1) λ1=h2mE0

 K.E. =2E0( for x>1) λ2=h4mE0 λ1λ2=2
