Question
Give the results of Rutherford alpha scattering experiment.
Solution
- Most of the alpha particles are undeflected through the gold foil and went straight.
- Some of the alpha particles are deflected through a small angle.
- A few alpha particles (one in thousand) are deflected through an angle more than 90°.
- Very few alpha particles returned back (back scattered) -that is, deflected back by 180°.

In the Bohr atom model, the frequency of transitions is given by the following expression

Consider the following transitions:
| Transitions | m → n |
| 1 | 3 → 2 |
