Question

The temperature at which two protons in a proton gas would
averagely have enough energy to overcome the coulomb barrier is
(1) 3 × 108 K (2) 3 × 109 K (3) 2
× 108 K (4) 3 × 107 K

Vara · Accepted Answer

The energy required to overcome the coulomb barrier is in the
order of 10^7 K
Hence, the correct option is (3)

The temperature at which two protons in a proton gas would averagely have enough energy to overcome the coulomb barrier is (1) 3 × 108 K (2) 3 × 109 K (3) 2 × 108 K (4) 3 × 107 K
