MCQ
Alpha-particles that come closer to nuclei in Rutherford's alpha particle scattering experiment:
  • A
    Are deflected more
  • B
    Are deflected less
  • C
    Make more collisions
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

  1. Are deflected more

Explanation:

In the α-particle experiment as the alpha particles come closer to the nucleus it deflects more, because α-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 α-particle and nucleus.
