In the frame work of relativistic mean field (RMF) theory, we calculate the density distribution of protons and neutrons for $^{40,42, 44,48}Ca$ with NL3 and G2 parameter sets. The microscopic proton-nucleus optical potential for $p+^{40,42,44,48}Ca$ system is evaluated from Dirac NN-scattering amplitude and the density of the target nucleus using Relativistic-Love-Franey and McNeil-Ray-Wallace parametrizations. Then we estimate the scattering observables, such as elastic differential scattering cross-section, analyzing power and the spin observables with relativistic impulse approximation. We compare the results with the experimental data for some selective cases and found that the use of density as well as the scattering matrix parametrization is crucial for the theoretical prediction.
