Interpretation:
The thermal neutrons wavelength has to be estimated for given temperature.
Concept Introduction:
An electron moves from higher energy to lower energy level which emits photon of an energy. The lost energy during transition emits as photons. But an electron in its lower energy level does not undergo change in energy.
Relation between frequency and wavelength is,
C is the
Louis de Broglie in
h is Planck’s constant(
m is the mass of particle.
The above equation is called de Broglie relation.
