Question

In Geiger-Marsden experiment, actual results were ______.

Options

• Number of particles at angle ϕ were non zero at all angles including at 180°

• Number of particles at angle ϕ were zero at ϕ = 180°

• Number of particles at angle ϕ were zero at ϕ = 80°

• Number of particles at angle ϕ were zero at ϕ = 70°

Answer 1

In Geiger-Marsden experiment, actual results were number of particles at angle ϕ were non-zero at all angles including at 180°.

Explanation:

The majority of the alpha particles were deflected by modest angles (at least 1 degree), some were scattered by bigger angles, and some were rebounced at angles higher than 90 degrees.
