The de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature
(kelvin) and mass
, is [NEET 2017]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
de-Broglie wavelength associated with a moving particle can be given as

it thermal equilibrium, temperature of neutron and heavy water will be same.
This common temperature is given as,
.
Kinetic energy of the neutron is
de-Broglie wavelength of the neutron,

=
