The kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the energy of a photon. The particle moves at 4.4% of the speed of light. Find the ratio of the photon wavelength to the de Broglie wavelength of the particle. Take the speed to be non-relativistic.

The minimum uncertainty y in the position y of a particle is equal to 3 times its de Broglie wavelength. Determine the minimum uncertainty in the speed of the particle, where this minimum uncertainty vy is expressed as a percentage of the particle's speed vy. (Percentage = (vy/vy.)x100%). Assume that relativistic effects can be ignored.
