Question

A helium ion that comes within about 10 fm of the
center of the nucleus of an atom in the sample may
induce a nuclear reaction instead of simply
scattering. Imagine a helium ion with a kinetic
energy of 3.0 MeV heading straight toward an atom
at rest in the sample. Assume that the atom stays
fixed. What minimum charge can the nucleus of the
atom have such that the helium ion gets no closer
than 10 fm from the center of the atomic nucleus?

or a proton.) (a) 41,000 V/m; (b) 250,000 V/m; (c
) 500,000V/m; (d) 6,000,000 V/m
