Question:

A Rutherford scattering experiment uses a beam of alpha particles of a known kinetic energy. Qualitatively compare the distance of closest approach (rmin) to a target consisting of lead atoms to that to a target made up of uranium atoms. Give a numerical answer as a ratio of the closest approach for lead to that for uranium.
