The de-broglie wavelength of neutrons in thermal equilibrium at temperature T is
- 3.08 T A
- 0.308 T A
- 0.0308 T A
- 30.8 T A
Answer
(4) 30.8 T A
Solution
Taking the kinetic energy of a thermal neutron as kT:
= h 2mkT
= 6.63 10-34 2 1.67 10-27 1.38 10-23 T
= 6.63 10-342.15 10-25 T m
= 3.08 10-9 T m
∴ = 30.8 T A
