Would you expect electrons to be effective in deflecting an alpha-particle beam?
Multiple Choice
yes, but only when the alpha particle is traveling very fast
yes, but only when the electron is in an atom
no
An alpha particle (charge +3.20 x 10^-19C, mass 6.64 x10^-27kg) is initially 5.2cm away from a fixed golden nucleus (charge +1.36 x10^-17C, mass 3.29x10^-25kg), and moving toward the nucleus with a speed of 8.1x10^5m/s. How close to the nucleus does te alpha particle get? Note: the nucleus diameter is approximately 10^-14m and the alpha particles's is 10^-15m
10) Now you have a nucleus with 13 protons at x = 6.2 Angstroms on the x-axis. How much work would it take to bring in ANOTHER nucleus with 7 protons from 1 m away and place it at y = 8.0 Angstroms on the y-axis?
