Question

The de-Broglie wavelength of thermal neutron is of the order of the (A) size of grain (B) Bohrs radius (C) distance between atom in crystal (D) size of nucleus

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.
