MCQ
An unknown nucleus collides with a ${}^4He$ nucleus, and after the collision the two nuclei travel in perpendicular directions relative to each other. If kinetic energy is lost in the collision, the unknown nucleus must be 
  • A
     ${}^{28}N$
  • B
     ${}^4He$
  • C
     ${}^{12}C$
  • a nucleus with mass lighter than  ${}^4He$

Answer

Correct option: D.
a nucleus with mass lighter than  ${}^4He$
d
