\begin{aligned} & \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{3 \mathrm{mK}(\mathrm{T})}} \\ & \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}} \\ & \lambda_2=\lambda_1 \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}} \\ & =\lambda_1 \sqrt{\frac{300}{600}}=\frac{\lambda_1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{aligned}
