Consider a head-on collision between two hydrogen atoms,both initially in their ground state and moving with the sameaspeed. Find the minimum speed necessary to leave both atoms intheir n = 4 state after the collision.
(a) How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 1 state to the n = 3 state? eV(b) If the electrons gain this energy by collision between hydrogen atoms in a high temperature gas, find the minimum temperature of the heated hydrogen gas. The thermal energy of the heated atoms is given by 3kBT/2, where kB is the Boltzmann constant.
