In a Rutherford scattering experiment, when an alpha particle of mass \({m}_{1}\) approaches a target nucleus of charge Ze and mass \({m}_{2}\) , the distance of the closest approach is \({d}_{0}\) . The energy of the particle is:

  1. directly proportional to Z
  2. inversely proportional to Z
  3. directly proportional to mass \({m}_{2}\)
  4. directly proportional to \({m}_{1} {~m}_{2}\)

Answer

(A) directly proportional to Z
