Differentiate between the 'distance of the closest approach' and the 'impact parameter.'

उत्तर
The phrase "distance of closest approach" refers to the lowest separation required between two particles or objects during the interaction, for as when they collide. Due to the fact that this is where the particles are closest to one another, it is frequently expressed in terms of physical distance, such as metres or centimetres. The closest approach distance depends on the initial conditions of the contact, including the initial positions, velocities, and forces of the particles.
The "impact parameter," on the other hand, measures how far a particle's trajectory is from a target object during a collision, such as a nucleus. This word refers to the angle between the particle's initial trajectory and the centre of the target object. In order to better comprehend the dynamics of the collision, the impact parameter is sometimes stated in terms of physical distance, such as metres or millimetres.

Would the Bohr formula for the H-atom remain unchanged if proton had a charge (+4/3)e and electron a charge (−3/4)e, where e = 1.6 × 10–19C. Give reasons for your answer.
The Bohr model for the H-atom relies on the Coulomb’s law of electrostatics. Coulomb’s law has not directly been verified for very short distances of the order of angstroms. Supposing Coulomb’s law between two opposite charge + q1, –q2 is modified to |F| = `(q_1q_2)/((4πε_0)) 1/r^2, r ≥ R_0 = (q_1q_2)/(4πε_0) 1/R_0^2 (R_0/r)^ε, r ≤ R_0` Calculate in such a case, the ground state energy of a H-atom, if ε = 0.1, R0 = 1Å.
