In a gas at (absolute) temperature t, the molecules have a typical kinetic energy of 3kbt/2, where kb is boltzmann’s constant.
derive an expression for the thermal debroglie wavelength, a typical value for the debroglie wavelength λ of a molecule in the gas.
for helium atoms, calculate the debroglie wavelength at room temperature and at the boiling point of helium, and compare each number with the typical distance between the particles in each state.
comment on when we will need to use quantum mechanics in understanding the behavior of helium.

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
