A Geiger-Marsden experiment, where \(\alpha\) particles are scattered off of a thin gold film, yields an intensity of particles of \(I\left(90^{\circ}\right)=100 .\) counts/s at a scattering angle of \(90^{\circ} \pm 1^{\circ} .\) What will be the intensity of particles at a scattering angle of \(60^{\circ} \pm 1^{\circ}\) if the scattering obeys the Rutherford formula?
a) Calculate the kinetic energy of a neutron that has a de Broglie's wavelength of \(0.15 \mathrm{nm}\). Compare this with the energy of an X-ray photon that has the same wavelength. b) Comment on how this would be relevant for investigating biological samples with neutrons vs. X-rays.
Which of the following particles does not have integer spins? a) photon b) \(\pi\) meson c) \(\omega\) meson d) \(\nu_{\mathrm{e}}\) lepton
\( \mathrm{~A} 6.50-\mathrm{MeV}\) alpha particle is incident on a lead nucleus. Because of the Coulomb force between them, the alpha particle will approach the nucleus only to a minimum distance, \(r_{\text {min }}\) a) Determine \(r_{\text {min }}\). b) If the kinetic energy of the alpha particle is increased, will the particle's distance of approach increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain.
