Photoelectric EffectHard
Question
An electron with kinetic energy 10 eV is incident on a hydrogen atom in its ground state. The collision
Options
A.must be elastic
B.may be partially elastic
C.must be completely inelastic
D.may be completely inelastic
Solution
10 eV electron cannot excite a hydrogen atom Hence collision is elastic.
