At distance of closest approach all kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy if distance of closest approach is b then,

\frac{1}{2}m\upsilon ^{2}=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon _{o} }\cdot \frac{(ze)\cdot (2e)}{b}

\Rightarrow b=\frac{(ze)\cdot (2e)}{(4\pi\epsilon_{o})\cdot (\frac{1}{2}m\upsilon ^{2})} \Rightarrow b\propto \frac {1}{m}
