Question
What is the de broglie wavenlength of a neutron with kinetic enrgy of 150eV
Open in App
Solution
Solution :
Kinetic energy of neutron E=150eV
=150×1.6×10−19
Mass of neutron m=1.675×10−27
kinetic energy of neutron E=1/2mv^2
(ie) mv=√2EM−
λ=h/mv
. =h/√2em
=6.63×10−34/√2×150×1.6×10−19×1.675×10−27
=2.33×10−12m

Q.
(a) For what kinetic energy of a neutron will the associated de Broglie wavelength be 1.40 × 10–10 m? (b) Also find the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron, in thermal equilibrium with matter, having an average kinetic energy of (3/2) k T at 300 K.
Q.
(a) Obtain the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy 150 eV. As you have seen in Exercise 11.31, an electron beam of this energy is suitable for crystal diffraction experiments. Would a neutron beam of the same energy be equally suitable? Explain. (mn = 1.675 × 10–27 kg) (b) Obtain the de Broglie wavelength associated with thermal neutrons at room temperature (27 °C). Hence explain why a fast neutron beam needs to be thermalised with the environment before it can be used for neutron diffraction experiments.
