The closest distance between
Answer to Problem 73GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Kinetic energy of
Gold nucleus charge
Formula used:
It is known that:
Where,
Calculation:
At the closest approach kinetic energy of both particles is zero when we ignore the recoil motion.
Now, substitute the data into the formula
Conclusion: The closest distance is
