Question

in 1991 in the rutherfords experiment of the alpha particles why some were deflected from the straight path

Solution

Alpha particles in Rutherford's experiment get deflected from the straight path due to the repulsion experienced by the alpha particles from the positively charged protons present in the nucleus.

Q. Statement 1: A large number of alpha particles were deflected in the Rutherford experiment.
Statement 2: Alpha particles that came close to the nucleus were deflected.

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

Q. In the Rutherford scattering experiment,

\frac{1}{20000}

of the alpha particles is deflected back at an angle of

180^{\circ}

. This leads to the conclusion that:
