  1. A moving neutron collides with a
    stationary a – particle. The fraction of the kinetic energy lost by
    the neutron is
    1. 1
      4
    2. 1
      4
    3. 9
      25
    4. 9
      25
Correct Option: D

As we know

Et =
1
mu2.Ef =
1
mv2
22

Fraction of energy lost
=
Et - Ef
Et


= 1 -
v
2 = 1 -
m - 4m
2
um + 4m


= 1 -
5
=
16
