Question

Obtain de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy 150 eV. As we have seen in last example, an electron beam of 150 eV energy is suitable for crystal diffraction experiments. Would a neutron beam of the same energy by equally? Explain. The mass of neutron is .

Solution

Correct option is

0.0233 Å

The de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy

        K = 150 eV 

             

       

          

          

          

The interatomic spacings in a crystal  are much larger than the wavelength of 150.eV neutrons. Hence these neutrons are not suitable for crystal diffraction experiments.
