Problem 6.251

Find the greatest possible angle through which a deuteron is scattered as a result of elastic collision with an initially stationary proton.

Reveal Answer
θmax⁡=arcsin⁡(m1/m2)=30∘, where m1 and m2 are the masses of a proton and a deuteron\theta_{\max }=\arcsin \left(m_{1} / m_{2}\right)=30^{\circ}, \text { where } m_{1} \text { and } m_{2} \text { are the masses of a proton and a deuteron}
