Question
When a silver foil (Z = 47) was used in a α-ray scattering experiment, the number of α particles scattered at 30∘ was found to be 200 per minute. If the silver foil is replaced by aluminium (z = 13) foil of same thickness, the number of α -particles scattered per minute at 30∘ is nearly equal to
Answer: Option A
:
A
N∝Z2
N2N1=[z2z1]2=[1347]2
N2200=13×1347×47
N2=13×13×20047×47=15
