NEET 2017 Physics de-Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T (Kelvin) and mass m, is:

A

h/√mkT

B

h/√3mkT

C

2h/√mkT

D

h/√mkT

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The de-Broglie wavelength is calculated using the formula λ = h/p, where p is the momentum. For thermal equilibrium, p is related to temperature.
