Let velocity before collision v from momentum conservation mv=(m+m)v1
v1=2v
Loss in K.E. =21mv2−21(2m)(2v)2
=41mv2
K.E. lost is used to jump from 1st orbit to 2nd orbit ΔK.E.=10.2eV
⇒41mv2=10.2
21mv2=2×10.2=20.4eV

An electron of mass $m$ is moving in an electric field $\vec{E} = -2E_0\hat{i}$ ($E_0 =$ constant $> 0$), with an initial velocity $\vec{V} = v_0\hat{i}$ ($v_0 =$ constant $> 0$). If $\lambda_0 = \dfrac{h}{4mv_0}$, its de Broglie wavelength at time $t$ is __________. ($e =$ charge of electron)
In a semiconductor p-n diode, the doping concentrations on p-side and n-side are $10^{15}\text{ atoms/cm}^3$ and $10^{18}\text{ atoms/cm}^3$, respectively. Which one of the following statements is true ?
The following diagram shows a Zener diode as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is rated at $V_{z}=5 \mathrm{~V}$ and the desired current in load is 5 mA. The unregulated voltage source can supply upto 25 V. Considering the Zener diode can withstand four times of the load current, the value of resistor $R_{S}$ (shown in circuit) should be $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$.
