An alpha nucleus of energy (1)/(2)m nu^(...

An alpha nucleus of energy `(1)/(2)m nu^(2)` bombards a heavy nucleus of charge `Ze` . Then the distance of closed approach for the alpha nucleus will be prpportional to

A

`nu^(2)`

B

`(1)/(m)`

C

`(1)/(nu^(2))`

D

`(1)/(Ze)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Work done to step the a particle is equal to K.E
`:. qV= (1)/(2) m nu^(2) rArr q xx (R(Ze))/(r ) = (1)/(2) m nu^(2)`
` rArr r = (2 (2e)k(Ze))/(m nu^(2)) = (4kZe^(2))/( m nu^(2)) `
`rArr r prop (1)/(nu^(2)) and r prop (1)/(m)`
