NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
Two identical spherical masses undergo a glancing elastic collision where one mass is initially at rest. If the angle of deflection for one mass after the collision is 53°, what is the angle of deflection for the other mass?
A
37°
B
53°
C
90°
D
180°
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, when two equal masses undergo a glancing elastic collision with one at rest, they move at right angles to each other. Given one angle as 53°, the other must be 90° - 53° = 37°.
