    An electron with kinetic energy 5 eV is incident on an H-atom in its ground state. The collision

    A)  must be elastic

    B)  may be partially elastic

    C)  may be completely elastic

    D)  may be completely inelastic

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In hydrogen atom\[{{E}_{2}}-{{E}_{1}}=10.2\,\,eV\]. Since, energy difference is\[10.2\,\,eV\]. Which is greater than kinetic energy \[5\,\,eV\] electron excites the hydrogen atom, hence collision must be elastic.
