Question

The distance of closest approach of an α- particle fired towards a nucleus with momentum p,is r. The distance of closest approach when the momentum of α-particle is 2p is
  1. 2r
  2. r/4
  3. 4r
  4. r/2

A
r/4
B
2r
C
4r
D
r/2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

12mv2= q1 q24πϵ0 r

Initially, p22m=2e q4πϵ0 r ----(1)

Now, (2p)22m=2eq4πϵ0 r1 ----(II)

Equation (I)÷(ii)

14=r1r

r1=r4
