The Rutherford \(α -\)particle experiment shows that most of the \(α -\)particles pass through almost unscattered while some are scattered through large angles. What information does it give about the structure of the atom?
1. | The atom is hollow. |
2. | The whole mass of the atom is concentrated in a small center called the nucleus. |
3. | The nucleus is positively charged. |
4. | All of the above |
1. | \(\frac{1}{Ze} \) | 2. | \(v^2 \) |
3. | \(\frac{1}{m} \) | 4. | \(\frac{1}{v^4}\) |
In a Rutherford scattering experiment when a projectile of charge \(Z_1\) and mass \(M_1\) approaches a target nucleus of charge \(Z_2\)
and mass \(M_2\) the distance of the closest approach is \(r_0.\) What is the energy of the projectile?
1. | Directly proportional to \(M_1 \times M_2\) |
2. | Directly proportional to \(Z_1Z_2\) |
3. | Inversely proportional to \(Z_1\) |
4. | Directly proportional to the mass \(M_1\) |
1. | \(145\) | 2. | \(160\) |
3. | \(172\) | 4. | \(157\) |
