Question

Expression for the de broglie wavelength of an ideal gas

Answer 1

For a free ideal gas of massive particles (with no internal degrees of freedom) in equilibrium, the thermal de Broglie wavelength can be obtained through the standard de Broglie wavelength: ... where h is the Planck constant, m is the mass of a gas particle, is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature of the gas.
