The kinetic energy of the α-particle incident on the gold foil is doubled. The distance of closest approach will also be doubled.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me in an interview for internship.My question is from Alpha-Particle Scattering and Rutherford’s Nuclear Model of Atom in section Atoms of Physics – Class 12 |

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (B) False To elaborate: As the distance of the closest APPROACH is inversely proportional to the kinetic energy of the incident α-particle, so the distance of the closest approach is halved when the kinetic energy of α-particle is DOUBLED. |
