    The de-Broglie wavelength of thermal neutron is of the order of the

    A)  size of grain

    B)  Bohrs radius

    C)  distance between atom in crystal

    D)  size of nucleus

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Rutherfords a-scattering experiment proved that electrons of a few hundered MeV have de-Broglie wavelengths comparible to diameter of a nucleus. Hence, de-Broglie wavelength of thermal neutron is of the order of size of nucleus.
