An electron of kinetic enregy K collides elastically with a stationary hydrogen atom is the ground state. Then,A. `K gt 13.6 eV`B. `K gt 10.2 eV`C. `K lt 10.2 eV`D. data insufficient

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For `Kge10.2 eV` electrons can excite the hydrogen
atom `(as E_2 - E_10.2 eV).` So, collision may be
inelastic.
