प्रश्न

In a Geiger-Marsden experiment, calculate the distance of closest approach to the nucleus of Z = 80, when a α-particle of 8Mev energy impinges on it before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction.

How will the distance of closest approach be affected when the kinetic energy of the α-particle is doubles?

उत्तर

Let r0 be the centre to centre distance between the alpha-particle and nucleus when the ∝-particle is at its stopping point, Given Z = 80, Ek = 8MeV

Now, `E_k = 1/(4piepsi_0) ((Ze)(2e))/r_0`

`so  r_0 = 1/(4piepsi_0) ((2e)(Ze))/E_k`

`= (9 xx 10^9 xx 80 xx 2 (1.6 xx 10^-19))^2/(8 xx 10^6 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19)`

`= (18 xx 80 xx 10^9 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19)/(8 xx 10^6)`

`= 28.8 fm`

Since `r_0 ∝ 1/E_k`

So when kinetic energy is doubled the distance of closest approach r0 is halved.

Assume that there is no repulsive force between the electrons in an atom but the force between positive and negative charges is given by Coulomb’s law as usual. Under such circumstances, calculate the ground state energy of a He-atom.


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.
