Assertion (A) : The distance of closest approach to a gold nucleus of an $α$ -particle of K.E 5.5Mev is about 4.0 × 10^–14m.
Reason (R) : Rutherford by assuming that the coulomb repulsive force was only responsible for scattering.

Detailed Solution

for distance of closest approach

$\frac{Ze 2 e}{4 {πε}_{0} r} = \frac{1}{2} {mv}^{2} where r is the distance of closest approach$

for gold nucleus

$\frac{79 \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} \times 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}{r} \times 9 \times 10^{9} =$

$5.5 \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 13}$

$solving for r we get r = 4.0 \times 10^{- 14} m$

scattering according to Rutherford is due to the repulsion of $α$ particle with the nucleus.
