A deuteron.H. is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron. The mass of proton is 1.673 x 10-27 kg and the mass of neutron is 1.675 x 10-27 kg. The plasma of deuterons in a nuclear fusion reactor must be heated to about 3x108 K. You may use the formula Urms= 3kT m , where the Boltzmann constant is k-1.38×10 23 J/K and m stands for the mass of a molecule. The speed of light is c = 3 × 108 m/s. What would the temperature of the plasma be if the deuterons had an rms speed equal to 0.08 c? Express your answer in GK (giga Kelvin) to two significant figures. 1 GK = 10⁹ K A deuteron.H. is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron.
