The gravitational force between a -atom and another particle of mass will be given by Newton's law , where is in metre and

Geiger-Marsden experiment is related with the size of the-

A beam of fast moving alpha particles were directed towards a thin film of Gold. The parts and of the transmitted and reflected beams corresponding to the incident parts and of the beam are shown in the adjoing diagram. The number of alpha particles in


In Rutherford's experiment, an -particle of mass and charge moves at high speed , along the -axis. It is initially near , and it ends up near The gold nucleus having charge is fixed at the point . As the -particle passes the stationary nucleus, its -component of velocity does not change appreciably, but it acquires a small velocity in the -direction. The angle through which the -particle is deflected is,

The total energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom is . The kinetic energy of the electron will be:

On which of the following factors does the trajectory of an alpha particle depend?

A standing wave in a string 35 cm long has a total of six nodes including those at the ends. Hence, wavelength of the standing wave is
