To calculate the height of the potential barrier for a head-on collision of two deuterons, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Determine the effective radius of a deuteron.
The effective radius of a deuteron is given as 2 fm (femtometers). We need to convert this into meters.
\[
\text{Effective radius} = 2 \, \text{fm} = 2 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m}
\]
