(a)

To determine

The ratio of a neutron’s final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy $\frac{K_{\text{f}}}{K_{\text{i}}}$ if the stationary object is electron.

(b)

To determine

The ratio of a neutron’s final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy $\frac{K_{\text{f}}}{K_{\text{i}}}$ if the stationary object is proton.

(c)

To determine

The ratio of a neutron’s final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy $\frac{K_{\text{f}}}{K_{\text{i}}}$ if the stationary object is lead atom.
