In a Rutherford scattering experiment when a projectile of charge and mass approaches a target nucleus of charge and mass , the distance of closest approach is . The energy of the projectile is
Multiple Choice Options
- A directly proportional to
- B inversely proportional to
- C directly proportional to mass
- D directly proportional to
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Now energy of the projectile :
= 1 4 � _ 0 z 1 z 2 r
Therefore energy _ z 1 z 2
