The temperature at which protons in proton gas would have enough energy to overcome Coulomb barrier of `4.14xx10^(-14)J` is (Boltzman constant = `1.38xx10^(-23)JK^(-1))`

A

`2xx10^9K`

B

`10^9K`

C

`6xx10^9K`

D

`3xx10^9K`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`k_(av) = 3/2 k_BT`
`rArr T = (2k_(av))/(3k_B) = (2 xx 4.14 xx 10^(-14))/(3 xx 1.38 xx 10^(-23) JK^(-1))`
` = 2 xx 10^9 K`.
