In a Rutherford scattering experiment, when a projectile of charge \(Z_1\) and mass \(M_1\) approaches a target nucleus of charge \(Z_2\) and mass \(M_2\), the distance of the closest approach is \(r_0\). The energy of the projectile is:
1. directly proportional to \(M_1M_2\).
2. directly proportional to \(Z_1Z_2\).
3. inversely proportional to \(Z_1\).
4. directly proportional to mass \(M_1\).
