AI Generated Solution
To understand how the impact parameter is related to the scattering angle, we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Impact Parameter**:
- The impact parameter (b) is defined as the perpendicular distance from the center of the nucleus to the path of the incoming alpha particle. It is a crucial parameter in scattering experiments.
2. **Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment**:
