Let $\mathrm{u}$ be the velocity of electron while entering the field and $\mathrm{v}$ the velocity when it leaves the plates. Component of velocity parallel to plates will remain unchanged.
$u \cos \alpha=v \cos \beta \quad \therefore \frac{u}{v}=\frac{\cos \beta}{\cos \alpha}$
The desired ratio is.
$\frac{\frac{1}{2} m u^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}}=\left(\frac{u}{v}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{\cos \beta}{\cos \alpha}\right)^{2}$
