Difference between relaxation time and collision time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ghazi @hba anybuddy plz help :)

@jiteshmeghwal9 @sasogeek @LonelyandForgotten

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

:P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shubhamsrg i read this but kuch smajh nhi aaya sb sr k upar se gya :(

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

relaxation time for a system is the time it takes for the system to return to equilibrium after an impulse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i got the difference thank u @UnkleRhaukus :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr do u have any better answer???

OpenStudy (hba):

Yaar examples lai lo na Jaisa kai collision time samajh nai kai liye ye sawal lailo How does it make a diff when a biker wears and helmet. Daikho Jab biker girta hai na tau helmet mai aik sponge hota hai jo kai time barha deta hai jiss sai collision time barh jata hai samjhe. A collision is an isolated event in which two or more moving bodies (colliding bodies) exert forces on each other for a relatively short time. Collision aik event hai jissme dau ya us sai ziada body collide krti hai ya phir wo aik dusre par force exert karti hai aik relatively short time kai liyee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hba actually i meant for collision time and relaxation time of electrons in a conductor or semiconductor or insulator.............so u r correct i know this but this is not what i want ;)

OpenStudy (hba):

Are yaar kasme phele bolte na.

OpenStudy (hba):

Merai paas aik video thi iss kai liyee mil nahee rahi :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh to jldi se dhundo ya related link bhejo bhaiya vrna dikkat ho jayegi hmko.........kl MDU ka exam hai :(

OpenStudy (hba):

Haha,Yaar bookmarks mai thi nahi mil rahi.maafi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

koi nhi mile to de dena kya pta kb zaroorat pd jaye pr dimag ki maa bhen ho rkhi hai papero ki vjah se :(

OpenStudy (hba):

Haha,Chill maaro ziada fikar nahe kro :)

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Relaxation time is the typical time it takes a system to adapt to a change in the conditions applied to it. Usually derived from a first order differential equation. Collision time is defined in microscopic models as the average time between two collisions undergone by a particle "followed in your mind" (I do not know how this is said in English). In models of conduction such as Drude's model, these times are identical, by I'm sure the reference suggested by shubhamsrg sheds new insight on the matter.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

*other wording: Relaxation time is the time taken by a system to reach a new equilibrium or steady state under new conditions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @Vincent-Lyon.Fr can u help in one more derivation of relation between collision time, mean free path and relaxation time plz

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Sorry, I am no expert on the subject. I might give a derivation that would prove wrong according to the reference above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehehe......no problem and thanks a lot 4 ur help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehehe

OpenStudy (hba):

lol :D
