In a Geiger-Marsden experiment, what is the distance of the closest approach to the nucleus of a \(7.7\text{ MeV}\) \(\alpha\)-particle before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction?
1. \(10\text{ fm}\)

2. \(25\text{ fm}\)

3. \(30\text{ fm}\)

When an \(\alpha\text-\)particle of mass \(m\) moving with velocity \(v\) bombards on a heavy nucleus of charge \(Ze\), its distance of closest approach from the nucleus depends on \(m\) as:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{m^{2}}\)
3. \(m\) 4. \(\dfrac{1}{m}\)

It is found experimentally that \(13.6~\text{eV}\) energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. The velocity of the electron in a hydrogen atom is:
1. \(3.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(2.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(3.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(1.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
