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. \(30\text{ fm}\)
4. \(35\text{ fm}\)
| 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. \(1.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
