NEET Physics Kinetic Energy Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In an elastic collision, a neutron can lose most of its kinetic energy when colliding with a light nucleus.
Reason (R): The kinetic energy transfer is efficient when the colliding masses are comparable.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that in an elastic collision with a light nucleus, a neutron can lose significant kinetic energy because the collision is more efficient when the masses are similar.
