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)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength is related to the momentum of the neutron, which can be used to find its kinetic energy. Using the relation between kinetic energy and temperature for a monatomic gas, the temperature corresponding to the given kinetic energy is approximately 51°C.
