ATOM
DISTANCE OF CLOSEST APPROACH

ENERGY OF ELECTRON IN A HYDROGEN ATOM

The hydrogen consting of one electron and one proton.

The electrostic force of attraction between nucleus and electron provides the
centripetal force, which is necessary for the circular motion.
Centripetal force = Electrostic force of attraction.
 ASSIGNMENT
1) Define impact parameter? How is the impact parameter related to the
scattering angle?
2) A beam of alpha particle of velocity 2m/s is scattered by a gold foil (Z = 79).
Find the distance of closest approach of the alpha particle to the gold
nucleus. The value of charge / mass for alpha particle is 4.8 C / Kg. ടി
