An α - particle collides with a stationary lithium, as  4He+7Li10B+n .  If  Q value of this reaction is Q=2.5MeV. Find the minimum value of kinetic energy of  α- particle required for the reaction?

a
4.42 MeV
b
1.52 MeV
c
2.92 MeV
d
3.92 MeV

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Threshold energy =Eth=−Q1+AαALi=−−2.51+47MeV ⇒Eth=3.92MeV
