How close to the gold nucleus could it come

Reference no: EM132107023

Question: In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated towards a gold nucleus and its path was substantially deflected by the Coulomb interaction. If the initial kinetic energy of the doubly charged alpha nucleus was 5.10 MeV, how close to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being turned around?
