If and alpha-paricle of mass m, charged ...

If and `alpha`-paricle of mass m, charged q and velocity v is incident on a nucleus charge Q and mass m, then the distance of closest approach is

A

`(Qq)/(4piepsi_(0)m^(2)v^(2))`

B

`(Qq)/(2piepsi_(0)mv^(2))`

C

`(Qqmv^(2))/(2)`

D

`(Qq)/(mv^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Distance of closest approach,
`r_(0)=(Zke^(2))/(KE)=(qQ)/(4piepsi_(0)1//2mv^(2))=(qQ)/(2piepsi_(0)mv^(2))`
