    The energy associated with a thermal neutron is of the order of

    A)  10 MeV                              

    B)  1 keV

    C)  0.1 MeV                             

    D)  0.01 eV

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                                    \[E=\frac{1}{2}{{k}_{B}}T\] At           T = 300 K \[\therefore \]  \[E=\frac{1}{2}(1.38\times {{10}^{-23}})\,(300)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{(1.38\times {{10}^{-23}})\,(300)}{(1.6\times {{10}^{-19}})}eV\] \[\Rightarrow \]               E = 0.01 eV
