Alpha particles of kinetic energy 5.4 MeV are incident at a rate of 3.2 x 107 per second on a copper foil of thickness 3.2 x 10-6 m. A circular detector of diameter 1.0 cm is placed 13 cm
from the foil at an angle of 30° with the direction of the incident alpha particles. At what rate does the detector measure scattered alpha particles? (The molar mass of copper is
63.5 g/mol and its density is 8.9 g/cm³.)

A beam of ions (typically helium ions) is accelerated to highenergy and aimed at a sample. By analyzing the distribution and energyof the ions that are scattered from (that is, deflected by collisions with)the atoms in the sample, researchers can determine the sample’s composition.To accelerate the ions to high energies, a tandem electrostaticaccelerator may be used. In this device, negative ions (He-) start at apotential V = 0 and are accelerated by a high positive voltage at themidpoint of the accelerator. The high voltage produces a constant electricfield in the acceleration tube through which the ions move. Whenaccelerated ions reach the midpoint, the electrons are stripped off, turningthe negative ions into doubly positively charged ions (He++). Thesepositive ions are then repelled from the midpoint by the high positivevoltage there and continue to accelerate to…arrow_forward
