If an alpha particle with energy 7.7 MeV is bombarded on a thin gold foil, the closest distance from nucleus it can reach is _________ m.
(Atomic number of gold \(=79\) and \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\)in SI units)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(2.95 \times 10^{-14}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Energy conservation
\(K _{ i }+ U _{ i }= K _{ f }+ U _{ f }\)
\(7.7 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}+0\)
\(=0+\frac{9 \times 10^9\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)\left(79 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)}{ r }\)
\(r =2.95 \times 10^{-14}\)
\(K _{ i }+ U _{ i }= K _{ f }+ U _{ f }\)
\(7.7 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}+0\)
\(=0+\frac{9 \times 10^9\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)\left(79 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)}{ r }\)
\(r =2.95 \times 10^{-14}\)
