In Rutherford's scattering experiments, alpha particles (charge = +2e) were fired at a gold foil. Consider an alpha particle with an initial kinetic energy K heading directly for the nucleus of a gold atom (charge =+79e). The alpha particle will come to rest when all its initial kinetic energy has been converted to electrical potential energy. Find the distance of closest approach between the alpha particle and the gold nucleus for the case K = 3.0 MeV . (answer in...

Rutherford fired high energy alpha particles at a gold foil. He found that nuclei were very much smaller than the size of an atom because: Question 11 options: a large fraction of alpha particles were transmitted without a significant deflection the alpha particles split into deuterium nuclei when they encountered the gold nuclei the alpha particles could not get closer than 1 Angstrom to the gold nuclei some alpha particles were captured by the gold nuclei only a small fraction...

Estimate the maximum kinetic energy given to the target nucleus when 6.7 MeV alpha particles are incident on a lead foil. (Assume that the light alpha particle rebounds from the massive lead nucleus with a final momentum that is in magnitude nearly equal to its initial momentum.)

A point source that emits beta particles at a rate of 107/s is to be shielded. If the max beta energy is 3.0 MeV, what thickness of aluminum would be required to attenuate the beta particles, and what thickness of lead would need to be included to reduce the photon flux at 50 cm by a factor of 1000?

Each alpha particle in a beam of alpha particles has a kinetic energy of 5.0 MeV. Through what potential difference would you have to accelerate these alpha particles in order that they would have enough energy so that if one is fired head-on at a gold nucleus it could reach a point 1.0x10^-14 m from the center of the nucleus? I know that the answer is delta V = 9e6 Volts I am struggling to get past KEi = 5.0...

In Rutherford's scattering experiment, alpha particles (m = 6.68 x 10-27 kg, q = +2e) of 7.5 MeV kinetic energy were aimed at a thin gold foil (Z = 79). Some of the alpha particles scattered straight back: 180 degrees. From this data, what is his estimate for the size of the gold nucleus?
