    An alpha nucleus of energy \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] bombards a heavy nuclear target of charge Ze. Then, the distance of closer approach for the alpha nucleus will be proportional to

    A)  \[\frac{1}{Ze}\]                                               

    B)  \[{{V}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{m}\]                                

    D)  \[\frac{1}{{{V}^{4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    An \[\alpha \text{-}\]particle of mass m passes initial velocity v, when it is at a large distance from the nucleus of an atom having atomic number Z. At the distance of closer approach, the kinetic energy of \[\alpha \text{-}\]particle is completely converted into potential energy. \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{(Ze)\,(Ze)}{{{r}_{0}}}\] \[{{r}_{0}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}},\frac{2Z{{e}^{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}}\]
