In Rutherford's experiment, an α-particle of mass m and charge q moves at high speed u, along the x-axis. It is initially near x=-, and it ends up near x=+. The gold nucleus having charge Q is fixed at the point x=0, y=-d. As the α-particle passes the stationary nucleus, its x-component of velocity does not change appreciably, but it acquires a small velocity in the y-direction. The angle through which the α-particle is deflected is,
