    If an\[\alpha \]-particle of mass m, charge q and velocity v is incident on a nucleus of charge Q and mass m, then the distance of closest approach is

    A) \[\frac{Qq}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{m}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}}\]

    B)                                                        \[\frac{Qq}{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}m{{v}^{2}}}\]                            

    C)                        \[\frac{Qqm{{v}^{2}}}{2}\]                          

    D)                        \[\frac{Qq}{m{{v}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The minimum distance from the nucleus up to which the \[\alpha -\]particle approach, is called the distance of closest approach fro). At this    distance the entire initial kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. So,                          \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{qQ}{r}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[r=\frac{qQ}{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}m{{v}^{2}}}\] None of the given option is correct.
