An $\alpha$-particle of energy $4\ MeV$ is scattered through $180^o $ by a fixed uranium nucleus. The distance of the closest approach is of the order of
A$1\ \mathring A $
B${10^{ - 10}}\ cm$
C${10^{ - 12}}\ cm$
D${10^{ - 15}}\ cm$
Solution

$\Delta \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot=\Delta \mathrm{P} \cdot \mathrm{E}$
$4 \times 10^{6}=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 92 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{r}$
$r=662.4 \times 10^{-16} \mathrm{\,m}$
$=6.62 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{\,m} \Rightarrow 6.62 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{\,cm}$
