    A neutron moving with a speed 'v' makes a head on collision with a stationary hydrogen atom in ground state. The minimum kinetic energy of the neutron for which inelastic collision will take place is:   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10 April 2016)

    A) 10.2 eV                                   

    B) 12.1 eV                

    C) 20.4 eV                   

    D) 16.8 eV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                 Assuming perfectly inelastic collision for maximum loss in K.E. \[{{V}_{f}}=\frac{{{V}_{i}}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,K.{{E}_{f}}=\frac{1}{2}(2m)\frac{V_{i}^{2}}{4}\Rightarrow \,\,K.{{E}_{f}}\frac{K{{E}_{i}}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,loss=\frac{K{{E}_{i}}}{2}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{K{{E}_{i}}}{2}\le 10.2ev\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,K.{{E}_{i}}\le 20.4ev\]
