(b) $\frac{2 h}{\sqrt{3 mkT}}$

(c) $\frac{2 h}{\sqrt{mkT}}$

(d) $\frac{h}{\sqrt{mkT}}$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) We know that,

de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda=\frac{\hbar}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m(KE)}}$

K.E. of thermal neutron $=\frac{3}{2} kT$

$=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m(\frac{3}{2} k T)}}$

$\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{3 mkT}}$
