What Do You Mean By Elastic Collision?

Share:

Elastic collision ( or elastic scattering):

If the sum of the kinetic energies of the colliding particles or bodies after collision is the same as the sum of the kinetic energies of the colliding particles or bodies before collision, then the collision is said to be elastic collision. In this type of collision the internal nature or the structure of the colliding particles does not change. The collisions between atomic, nuclear and fundamental particles are usually elastic.
