State the results obtained from a particle scattering experiment. Also draw a graph showing number of a particles scattered at different angles. |

Answer» SOLUTION :On the basis of experimental study of Rutherford.s d-particle scattering experiment following results were obtained : (i) A large number of a particles pass through the gold film undeviated or having a small deflection `(theta= 0^(@))`. (ii) As angle of deflection increases, the number of - particles moving in that direction rapidly DECREASES. However, some o-particles are scattered at large angles `(theta - 90^(@))` too. (iii) An EXTREMELY small number of c-particles about 1 in 8000) suffers a deflection greater than `90^(@)`(i.e., `180^(@)ge thetage 90^(@))` and is reflected back. The experimental plot of graph showing variation of number of `alpha`-particles detected versus the angle of - Scattering anglescattering `theta` is shown in FIG. 12.06.
