Q.

A hydrogen atom in ground state, moving with speed v collides with another hydrogen atom in ground state at rest. If  v<v0,  then the collision is elastic. If the value of v0=x×104m/s, find the value of x to nearest integer me42h2=E0=13.6eV/atom=2.18×1018J/atom
 ionisation energy of H-atom mH=1.67×1027kg  Mass of hydrogen atom.

Detailed Solution

According to Bohr’s model
ΔE=E0(11n2)ΔEmin=3E04
During inelastic collision, a part of kinetic energy of colliding particles is converted into internal energy. The internal energy of the system of two hydrogen atoms, considered in the problem cannot be changed less than ΔEmin. It means if the change in kinetic energy of system in grour frame is less than  ΔEmin (or if the kinetic energy of colliding atoms with respect to their centre mass is less than ΔEmin), then collision must be an elastic one. Hence considering the critical case
12mH(v02)2×2=3E04v0=3E0mH        3×2.18×10181.67×1027=39.1617×104=6.257×104m/s6.26×104m/s     a×b×ck×n=6×2×63×4=6
