Question
Chapter 31, Problem 8Q
To determine
How a neutron with no kinetic energy can excite a nucleus?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 8Q
Solution:
The neutron can excite a nucleus because of its high rest mass energy.
Explanation of Solution
Even though the kinetic energy is zero, the neutron has rest mass energy ofThe rest mass energy of the neutron is huge and it cannot be deflected by the nucleus since the neutron is electrically neutral.
