Suppose an experiment is performed with ultracold neutrons having velocities of 1.05 m/s.
A) What is the wavelength of such a neutron, in nanometers?
B) What is its kinetic energy, in electronvolts?
Solution)
Given,
Velocity,v=1.05 m/s
Here, Momentum, P=mV=(1.675*10^-27 kg)*(1.05)
P=1.75*10^-27 kg-m/s
Now, lambda=h/P=(6.626*10^-34)/(1.75*10^-27)=3.76*10^-7 m
=376.74 nm(Ans)
==========
Part b)
Kinetic Energy, KE=P*V/2=(1.75*10^-27)*(1.05)/2=9.18*10^-28 J
=5.74*10^-9 eV (Ans)

Experiments are performed with ultracold neutrons having velocities of 3.07 m/s. (a) What is the wavelength (in nm) of such a neutron? (b) What is its kinetic energy in eV?
The neutrons in a parallel beam, each having kinetic energy 0.035 eV , are directed through two slits 0.50 mm apart. How far apart will the interference peaks be on a screen 1.1 m away? [Hint: First find the wavelength of the neutron.]
Please help me out with this questions. Thank you.
Neutrons can be produced at low temperatures to serve as probes of molecular structure. When the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron is on the order of the dimensions of chemical bond lengths, the diffraction patterns are especially important for molecular structure. If the speed of a thermal neutron is given by the expression v = (3k_BT/m)^1/2, at what temperature will neutrons have a de Broglie wavelength of 50 pm =...

3. A simple model of a Neutron star is an ideal gas of neutrons (each with spin 1/2 in units of h). Aside from the kinetic energy of the neutrons, one must consider the gravitational energy, which for a homogeneous star of mass M and radius R, is 3GM2 5R where G 6.67 x 10-11m3kg-'s-2 is the universal gravitational constant (i) We suppose in this problem that the Fermi temperature is large enough for T0 What general condition determines the...
