A beam of neutrons with a de Broglie wavelength of 0.260 nm diffracts from a crystal of table salt, which has an interionic spacing of 0.283 nm .What is the speed of the neutrons? What is the angle of the second interference maximum?

Respuesta :

The speed of the neutrons is 1.53 x 10³ m/s and the  angle of the second interference maximum is 66.7⁰.

Speed of the neutrons

The speed of the neutrons is calculated as follows;

v = h/mλ

v = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 0.26 x 10⁻⁹)

v = 1.53 x 10³ m/s

Angle of the second interference maximum

The angle of the second interference maximum is calculated as follow;

λ = dsinθ

sinθ = λ/d

sinθ = (0.26)/(0.283)

sinθ = 0.9187

θ = 66.7⁰
