An alpha-particle of energy 5 MeV is movingforward for a head on collision. The distance of closest approach from the nucleus of atomic numbe Z=50 is ... xx10^(-14)m (k=9xx10^(9)SI, c=1.6xx10^(-19)C),

Answer»

`0.72`
`2.88`
`1.44`
`5.76`

Solution :KINETIC energy of a-particle = Potential energy of a-particle at very large distance,
`5xx10^(6)xx1.6xx10^(-19)=(k(2Ze^(2)))/(d)`
`:.d=(k(2Ze^(2)))/(8XX10^(-13))`
`:.d=(230.4xx10^(-28))/(8xx10^(-13))`
`:.d=28.8xx10^(-5)m:d=2.88xx10^(-14)m`
