What is the threshold energy??
1 Answer
Nov 21, 2015
The minimum kinetic energy a pair of particles must have when they collide.
Explanation:
The threshold energy is always greater than or equal to, the rest energy of the resulting particle. In most cases, since momentum is also conserved, the threshold energy is significantly greater than the rest energy of the desired particle - and thus there will still be considerable kinetic energy in the final particles.
