What should be the velocity of an α-particle travelling towards the nucleus of a copper atom to arrive at a distance 10-13 m from the nucleus of the copper atom?
HARD
A beam of specific kind of particles of velocity 2.1 × 107 m s-1 is scattered by a gold Z = 79 nuclei. Find out specific charge (charge/mass) of this particle if the distance of closest approach is 2.5 × 1014 m .
