Question

One of the most powerful modern techniques for studying structure is neutron diffraction. This technique involves generating a collimated beam of neutrons at a particular temperature from a high energy neutron source and is accomplished at several accelerator facilities around the world. If the speed of a neutron is given by V_n = (3.K_b . T / m )^1/2 where m is the mass of a neutron, then what temperature is needed so that the neutrons have a de Broglie wavelength of 50 pm? thank you, will rate immediately

Explanation / Answer

T= h^2/(3*m*Kb*lambda^2) =2500 kelvin
