A neutron moving with velocity v strikes a deuterium nucleus at rest. What r de Broglie wavelengths of both the particles observed frm their centre of mass frame , be4 collision ...?

b4 collision

for neutron,

= h/mv = 3.9677 X 10^-7 / v metres

for dueterium,

= h/mv = infinity ( as v = 0 )

after collision

take collision to be perfectly elastic

Vn = 0 , Vd = v/2

for neutron,

= infinity

for deuterium,

= 3.9677 X 10^-7 / v metres

PS:pls rate me for if i m correct
