Problem
A monochromatic beam of neutrons, each of kinetic energy 0.025eV, is incident on a crystal whose inter-planar spacing is 0.18nm.
(a) Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the neutrons.
(b) Compare the value obtained in part (a) with the given inter-planar spacing and state, with reason, whether a strong diffraction pattern is expected.
