This lecture covers the diffraction of thermal neutrons on a calciferide crystal, analyzing the diffraction pattern formed on a screen. The instructor explains how to determine the temperature of the neutrons using kinetic energy and the ideal gas formula, resulting in a temperature of 523 Kelvin. Additionally, the lecture demonstrates the application of Bragg's law to find the position of diffraction maxima by calculating the angles theta for maximum diffraction.
