Q. The de-Broglie wavelength of thermal neutron is of the order of the

AMUAMU 2000

Solution:

Rutherfords a-scattering experiment proved that electrons of a few hundered MeV have de-Broglie wavelengths comparible to diameter of a nucleus. Hence, de-Broglie wavelength of thermal neutron is of the order of size of nucleus.
