In a hydrogen atom, the electron is in $n^{th}$ excited state. It may come down to second excited state by emitting ten different wavelengths. What is the value of $n$ :
$6$
$7$
$8$
$5$
What radioactive source did the Geiger and Marsden use in the scattering experiment?
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?
The diagram shows the path of four $\alpha - $ particles of the same energy being scattered by the nucleus of an atom simultaneously. Which of these are/is not physically possible
Answer the following questions, which help you understand the difference between Thomson's model and Rutherford's model better.
$(a)$ Is the average angle of deflection of $\alpha$ -particles by a thin gold foil predicted by Thomson's model much less, about the same, or much greater than that predicted by Rutherford's model?
$(b)$ Is the probability of backward scattering (i.e., scattering of $\alpha$ -particles at angles greater than $90^{\circ}$ ) predicted by Thomson's model much less, about the same, or much greater than that predicted by Rutherford's model?
$(c)$ Keeping other factors fixed, it is found experimentally that for small thickness $t,$ the number of $\alpha$ -particles scattered at moderate angles is proportional to $t$. What clue does this linear dependence on $t$ provide?
$(d)$ In which model is it completely wrong to ignore multiple scattering for the calculation of average angle of scattering of $\alpha$ -particles by a thin foil?
The wavelength of ${K_\alpha }$ line for an element of atomic number $29$ is $\lambda $ . Then the wavelength of ${K_\alpha }$ line for an element of atomic no $15$ is (Take mosley‘s constant $b = 1$ for both elements)
