a. What is impact parameter ?
b. How is it related to scattering angle ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. Impact parameter (b) of an ` alpha ` - particle is the perpendicular distance of the velocity vector of the ` alpha ` - particle from the centre of the nucleus , when it is away from the nucleuus
b. Scattering angle `= theta ` ,impact parametere = b
`cot ((theta )/(2)) =((4 pi epsi_0 T )/(Ze^2))b`

What is scattering of light ?

For scattering by an 'inverse square field' (such as that produced by a charged nucleus in Rutherford's model) the relation between impact parameter b and the scattering angle theta is given by b (Ze^2 cot (theta/2))/(4 pi epsi_0 ((mv^2)/(2))) a.
