Answer

$\lambda = 90~nm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the final speed of the neutron: $v = \sqrt{2ad}$ $v = \sqrt{(2)(9.8~m/s^2)(1.0~m)}$ $v = 4.427~m/s$ We can find the de Broglie wavelength: $\lambda = \frac{h}{m~v}$ $\lambda = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s}{(1.67\times 10^{-27}~kg)(4.427~m/s)}$ $\lambda = 9.0\times 10^{-8}~m$ $\lambda = 90~nm$
