A neutron has a mass of 1.67 * 10-27 kg.Its de Broglie wavelength is 1.4 * 10-10 m.What temperature would it correspond to if we had a monatomic gas having the same average kinetic energy (in$\degree$C)?
A)273
B)25
C)36
D)309
E)51

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength is related to the momentum of the particle, and the average kinetic energy of a monatomic gas is related to temperature. Using the de Broglie wavelength formula and equating it to the kinetic energy expression, we can solve for temperature. The correct temperature is approximately 51°C.
