Two protons are travelling along the same straight path but in opposite directions. The relative velocity between the two is

A

c

B

`c/2`

C

`2c `

D

`0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
One of the velocity `V_1 = V ` , other velocity `V_2 = - V`
Relative velocity `(V_("net")) = (V_1-V_2)/([1+V_2/C_2]) = (V - (-V) )/([1 + V^2/C^2]) =(2V)/(2) `
` V_("relative") = C`
