Solution:

Ans. Correct option : (a)

Explanation : Total energy of two $H$ -atom in ground state $= 2 (- 13.6) = - 27.2 eV$ .

The maximum amount by which their combined kinetic energy is reduced when any one $H$ -atom goes into first excited state after the inelastic collision, that is, the total energy of two H-atom after inelastic collision :

$\begin{aligned} E & = \frac{13.6}{n^{2}} + 13.6 & = \frac{13.6}{2^{2}} + 13.61 [For excited stater (n = 2)] & = 3.4 + 13.6 = 17.0 eV \end{aligned}$

So that the loss in kinetic energy due to inelastic collision will be,

$= 27.2 - 17.0 = 10.2 eV$
