An alpha particle of energy `5 MeV` is scattered through `180^(@)` by a found uramiam nucleus . The distance of closest approach is of the order ofA. `10^(-12) cm`B. `10^(-10) cm`C. `1A`D. `10^(-15) cm`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
KEY CONCEPT : Distance of closest approach
`r_(0) = (Ze(2e))/(4 pi epsilon _(0)E)`
Energy `E = 5 xx 10^(6) xx 10^(-19) J`
`:. R_(0) = (9 xx 10^(9) xx (92 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19)) (2 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19))/(5 xx 10^(6) xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19))`
rArr r = 5.2 xx 10^(-14)m = 5.3 xx 10^(-12) cm`
