(a) Obtain the de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy 150 eV. As you have seen in previous problem 31, an electron beam of this energy is suitable for crystal diffraction experiments. Would a neutron beam of the same energy be equally suitable? Explain. Given m_(n)=1.675xx10^(-27)kg . (b) Obtain the de-Broglie wavelength associated with thermal neutrons at room temperature (27^(@)C) . Hence explain why a fast neutrons beam needs to be thermalised with the environment before it can be used for neutron diffraction experiments.
