If the gold foil is replaced by any other metal foil whose atomic number is larger than the atomic number of the gold and rest all properties are same as that of gold then the distance of closest approach in Rutherford’s alpha scattering will be -
1
Less than that in gold foil
2
More than that in gold foil
3
Equal to that in gold foil
4
Can’t say
