![SET UP:
In this example, we will apply the concept of the de
Broglie wavelength to neutrons. Find the speed and
kinetic energy of a neutron
(m= 1.675 x 10-27 kg) that has a de Broglie
wavelength λ = 0.200 nm, typical of atomic
spacing in crystals. Compare the energy with the
average kinetic energy of a gas molecule at room
temperature (T = 20°C).
