Q.

A proton is fired from a very far distance towards a nucleus with charge Q = 120 e, Where e is the electronic charge. It makes the closest approach of 10 fm to the nucleus. The de-Broglie wavelength (in units of fm) of the proton at its start is : (take the proton mass,  mp=(5/3)×10-27 kg;h/e=4.2×10-15 J.s/C;14πε0=9×109m/F;1fm=10-15m ).

Detailed Solution

At closest approach electrostatic potential energy is equal to kinetic energy
Kq1q2r=p22m 
 (9×109)(120e)(e)10×1015=p22m
De-Broglie wavelength of proton at start is given as
λ=hp 
p2=h2λ2 
From equation 1, we have 
 2(53×1027)1015(9×109)(12)e2=h22mλ2
(120)(3)1027+18+9λ2=(4.2)2×1030 λ2=4.2×4.2×1030360×103=42×42360×1029 λ2=72×1030 λ=7fm
