The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.
<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>
The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.
where;
- Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
- e is charge
- r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
- k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²
Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.
<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>Charge of alpah particle = 2e
Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.
