Two masses $m_{a}$ and $m_{b}$ moving with velocities $v_{a}$ and $v_{b}$ in opposite directions collide elastically. After the collision,$m_{a}$ and $m_{b}$ move with velocities $v_{b}$ and $v_{a}$ respectively. The ratio $m_{a} : m_{b}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{v_{a}+v_{b}}{v_{a}-v_{b}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $\frac{v_{a}-v_{b}}{v_{a}+v_{b}}$
