A neutron have speed u makes head on collision with a hydrogen atom in ground state at rest. Find minimum K.E. of neutron for which no elastic collision is possible 

a
10.2 eV
b
20.4 eV
c
30.6 eV
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

For collision not to be elastic loss in K.E  is greater than or equal to minimum exciting energyΔE≥13.6-3.412mmm+mu−02≥10.2mu24≥10.2  ⇒K2≥10.2​  ⇒K≥20.4
