Q.
The wavelength of light from the spectral emission line of sodium is 589nm. The kinetic energy at which a neutron would have the same de Broglie wavelength is
Given, wavelength of light =589nm=589×10−9m
Mass of electron me=9.1×10−31kg
Mass of neutron mn=1.67×10−27kg
Planck's constant h=6.62×10−34J−s
Kinetic energy of neutron KEn=2λ2mnh2 =2×(589×10−9)2×1.66×10−27(6.63×10−34)2 =3.81×10−28J
