1. An incident particle of mass m₁ collides with a target particle of mass m₂. The incident particle is scattered through an angle 0₁. The target recoils at an angle 0₂ with the incident direction. Assuming the collision is elastic and that the target was initially at rest, find the ratio m/m2 of the two masses in terms of 01, 02. Ans: m1 sin (202 +01) sin 0₁ m₂
