MCQ
Alpha-particle that come closer to nuclei:
  • Are deflected more
  • B
    Are deflected less
  • C
    Make more collisions
  • D
    None

Answer

Correct option: A.
Are deflected more
a
In the $\alpha$-particle experiment as the alpha particles come closer to the nucleus it deflects more, because $\alpha$-particle and the nucleus both are positively charged. And positive charge repel each other and this electrostatic force is inversely squared proportional to the distance between $\alpha$-particle and nucleus.
