In geiger-marsden scattering experiment , the trajectory traced by `alpha`- particle depends on

A

number of collision

B

number of scattered `alpha`-particles

C

impact parameter

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Traajectory of `alpha`-particle depends on impact parameter which is the perpendicular distance of the initial velocity vector of the `alpha` particle from the centre of the nucleus. For small impact parameter `alpha` particle close to the nucleus and suffers larger scattering.
