Q. In the gold foil experiment, few alpha particles got deflected by small angles.

In the Gold foil experiment, 1% of the $α$ -particles were found to deflect at angles > 50⁰. If one mole of $α$ -particles were bombarded on the gold foil, calculate the number of $α$ -particles that would deflect at angles less than 50⁰.

During Rutherford's experiment some of the alpha-particles were deflected by the foil by small angles. What does this prove?

Q. In Rutherford's experiment,
(I) gold foil was selected.
(II) fast moving

α

-particles were made to fall on the foil.
(III) most of the

α

-particles were deflected by the foil by small angles.
Which of the above given statements is/are true?

Q. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct about α-particle scattering experiment?

(i) Most of the α-particles appeared to rebound.
(ii) Few α-particles were deflected by the gold foil by small angles.
(iii) One out of every 12000 particles passed straight through the gold foil.
