JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

At temperature \(T\), the average kinetic energy of any particle is \(\frac{3}{2} KT\) . The de Broglie wavelength follows the order

  1. A Visible photon \(>\) Thermal neutron \(>\) Thermal electron
  2. B Thermal proton \(>\) Thermal electron \(>\) Visible photon
  3. C Thermal proton \(>\) Visible photon \(>\) Thermal electron
  4. D Visible photon \(>\) Thermal electron \(>\) Thermal neutron
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Visible photon \(>\) Thermal electron \(>\) Thermal neutron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy of any particle \( = \frac{3}{2}\,KT\) Also \(K.E. = \frac{1}{2}\,m{v^2}\) \(\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{3}{2}KT \Rightarrow {v^2} = \frac{{3KT}}{m}\) \(v = \sqrt {\frac{{3KT}}{m}} \) De-broglie wavelength…
