Q

In Rutherford’s Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment what was the box containing the radioactive element made of? Why?

A

The box was made of Lead.

Lead is a good absorber of alpha rays, preventing their scattering into the surroundings.

Q

Observations of the Gold Foil Experiment

A
  1. Most Rays passed undeviated
  2. Few rays got deflected slightly
  3. Around 1 in 20,000 rays would retrace its path.
  4. Increasing the Z of the target element would increase deflection of the alpha particle as the number of protons would increase.

Q

What is the formula for distance of closest approach of Alpha particle

A

PEᵢ + KEᵢ = PEբ + KEբ

at initial position, r = infinity, so PEᵢ = 0
at final position, v = 0, so KEբ = 0

therefore KEᵢ = PEբ

therefore rₘᵢₙ = K . q₁ q₂/ KEᵢ
