MCQ
Thermal neutrons are those which
- AAre at very high temperature
- BMove with high velocities
- ✓Have kinetic energies similar to those of surrounding molecules
- DAre at rest
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Have kinetic energies similar to those of surrounding molecules
c
(c) When fast moving neutrons pass through a moderator, they collide with the molecules of the moderator.
(c) When fast moving neutrons pass through a moderator, they collide with the molecules of the moderator.
As a result of this the neutrons are in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding molecules of moderator.
These neutrons are called thermal neutrons.
