Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. The de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T (Kelvin) and mass m, is :- ​​
    1. h
      3mKT
    2. 2h
      3mKT
    3. 2h
      mKT
    4. h
      mKT
Correct Option: A

We know that,
de-Broglie wavelength

λ =
h
=
h
P2 m(KE)

K.E. of thermal neutron
=
3
kT
2

=
h
2m(3/2 kT)

λ =
h
3 mkT
