An energetic a-particle experiences head-on collision with nucleus having Z = 85. If distance of closest approach is 1.85xx10^(-14)m then calculate energy of a particle.

Answer»

23.13 MEV
13.2 MeV
10 MeV
20 MeV

Solution :13.2 MeV
Kinetic energy of a particle = P.E. at `r_(0)` DISTANCE
`=(kxxZexx2e)/(r_(0)xxe)toeV`
`=(9xx10^(9)xx85kxx2xxe^(2))/(1.85xx10^(-14)xxe)`
`=(9xx10^(9)xx170xx1.6xx10^(-19))/(1.85xx10^(-14))`
`=1323.24xx10^(4)eV`
`=13.23xx10^(6)eV`
`=13.23MeV`
