In Geiger-Mersden experiment, detection of `alpha`-particles scattered at a particular angle is done by

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In Geiger and Marden experiment, the alpha particles are scattered at different angles due to the nucleus of the gold atom. Since the electron present are very light the alpha particles are scattered by nucleus.
