The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution #### Part (A): Finding the Radius of the Nucleus 1. **Identify the formula for the radius of a nucleus**: The radius \( R \) of a nucleus can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = R_0 A^{1/3} \] where \( R_0 \) is a constant (given as \( 1.3 \times 10^{-15} \) m) and \( A \) is the atomic mass number. 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: Given that the atomic mass number \( A = 125 \): \[ R = 1.3 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \times (125)^{1/3} \] 3. **Calculate \( (125)^{1/3} \)**: \[ (125)^{1/3} = 5 \] 4. **Calculate the radius**: \[ R = 1.3 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \times 5 = 6.5 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \] #### Final Result for Part (A): The radius of the nucleus of the atom with atomic mass number 125 is: \[ R = 6.5 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \] --- #### Part (B): Finding the Distance of Closest Approach 1. **Identify the formula for the distance of closest approach**: The distance of closest approach \( d \) for an alpha particle approaching a nucleus can be calculated using the formula: \[ d = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{E} \] where \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are the charges of the alpha particle and the nucleus, and \( E \) is the kinetic energy of the alpha particle. 2. **Identify the charges**: The charge of the alpha particle \( q_1 = 2e \) (since it has 2 protons) and the charge of the silver nucleus \( q_2 = Ze = 47e \) (where \( Z = 47 \) is the atomic number of silver). 3. **Substitute the charges into the formula**: \[ d = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{(2e)(47e)}{E} \] 4. **Express the kinetic energy \( E \)**: The kinetic energy \( E \) of the alpha particle can be expressed as: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} m_{\alpha} v^2 \] 5. **Substitute \( E \) into the distance formula**: \[ d = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{(2e)(47e)}{\frac{1}{2} m_{\alpha} v^2} \] 6. **Simplify the expression**: \[ d = \frac{4 \cdot 47 e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \cdot \frac{1}{2} m_{\alpha} v^2} = \frac{4 \cdot 47 e^2}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 m_{\alpha} v^2} \] 7. **Plug in the value of \( e \) and \( \epsilon_0 \)**: The value of \( e \) (elementary charge) is \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \) and \( \epsilon_0 \) (permittivity of free space) is \( 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2 \). 8. **Final expression for distance**: \[ d = \frac{4 \cdot 47 (1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2}{2 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) m_{\alpha} v^2} \] #### Final Result for Part (B): The distance of closest approach when an alpha particle is projected towards the nucleus of a silver atom is: \[ d = \frac{4 \cdot 47 (1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2}{2 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) m_{\alpha} v^2} \] ---
