What is the percentage of $\alpha -$ particles that have more than $1^o$ scattering in Geiger-Marsden experiment?
In a Geiger-Marsden experiment, what is the distance of closest approach to the nucleus of a $7.7 \;MeV$ $\alpha -$particle before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction?
Given below are two statements :
$Statement$ $I$ : Most of the mass of the atom and all its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus and the electrons revolve around it, is Rutherford's model.
$Statement$ $II$ : An atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it, is a special case of Rutherford's model.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below.
An alpha particle colliding with one of the electrons in a gold atom loses
An $\alpha$-particle of energy $4\ MeV$ is scattered through $180^o $ by a fixed uranium nucleus. The distance of the closest approach is of the order of
Ratio of longest wavelengths corresponding to Lyman and Balmer series in hydrogen spectrum is
