Detailed Solution

de-Broglie wavelength associated with a moving particle can be given as

λ=hp

At thermal equilibrium, temperature of neutron and heavy water will be same. This common temperature is given as T
Also, we know that, kinetic energy of a particle,  KE=p2¯2m

where, p = momentum of the particle
and m = mass of the particle.
Kinetic energy of the neutron at T is  KE=32kT

      de-Broglie wavelength of the neutron,

λ=hp=h2m(KE)

=h2m×(3/2)kT=h3mkT
