$X$-rays incident on a material
Will exert a force on it
Will transfer energy to it
May cause emission of electrons
All of these
In an alpha particle scattering experiment distance of closest approach for the $\alpha$ particle is $4.5 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{~m}$. If target nucleus has atomic number $80$ , then maximum velocity of $\alpha$-particle is . . . . .. $\times 10^5$ $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ approximately.
$\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \mathrm{SI}\right.$ unit, mass of $\alpha$ particle $=$ $\left.6.72 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}\right)$
Suppose you are given a chance to repeat the alpha-particle scattering experiment using a thin sheet of solid hydrogen in place of the gold foil. (Hydrogen is a solid at temperatures below $14\; K$.) What results do you expect?
What is the percentage of $\alpha -$ particles that have more than $1^o$ scattering in Geiger-Marsden experiment?
When an $\alpha -$particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ bombards on a heavy nucleus of charge $Z_e$ , its distance of closest approach from the nucleus depends on $m$ as
State the dimension of the nucleus from Rutherford experiment.
