Answer:
the final kinetic energy is 0.9eV
Explanation:
To find the kinetic energy of the electron just after the collision with hydrogen atoms you take into account that the energy of the electron in the hydrogen atoms are given by the expression:
you can assume that the shot electron excites the electron of the hydrogen atom to the first excited state, that is
-10.2eV is the energy that the shot electron losses in the excitation of the electron of the hydrogen atom. Hence, the final kinetic energy of the shot electron after it has given -10.2eV of its energy is:
