In Rutherford experiment, minimum number of a particles will be deflected on using the thin foil of same thickness of which of the following metals?

Assertion: In Rutherford's experiment, a-particles from a sodium source were allowed to fall on a 104 mm thick gold foil. Most of the particles passed straight through the foil. Reason : The entire positive charge and nearly whole of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus.

A thin plastic of refractive index 1.6 is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point omn the screen is now occupied by what would have been the 7th bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is 600 nm, what is the thickness ( in mu m ) of the plastic?

Hydrogen Atom and Hydrogen Molecule The observed wavelengths in the line spectrum of hydrogen atom were first expressed in terms of a series by johann Jakob Balmer, a Swiss teacher. Balmer's empirical empirical formula is 1/lambda=R_(H)(1/2^(2)-1/n^(2))," " N=3, 4, 5 R_(H)=(Me e^(4))/(8 epsilon_(0)^(2)h^(3) c)=109. 678 cm^(-1) Here, R_(H) is the Rydberg Constant, m_(e) is the mass of electron. Niels Bohr derived this expression theoretically in 1913. The formula is easily generalized to any one electron atom//ion. A formula analogous to Balmer's formula applies to the series of spectral lines which arise from transition from higher energy levels to the lowest energy level of hydrogen atom. Write this formula and use it to determine the ground state energy of a hydrogen atom in eV. A 'muonic hydrogen atom' is like a hydrogen atom in which the electron is replaced by a heavier particle, the muon. The mass of a muon is about 207 times the mass of an electron, while its charge is the same as that of an electron. A muon has a very short lifetime, but we ignore its ubstable nature here.

In the gold foil experiment of Geiger and Marsden, that paved the way for Rutherford's model of an atom, ~ 1.00% of the alpha -particles were found to deflect at angles gt 50^(@) . If one mole of alpha -particles were bombarded on the gold foil, compute the number of alpha -particles that would deflect at angles less than 50^(@) .

What do you think would be the observation of alpha -particle scattering experiment if carried out on (i) heavy nucleus like platinum (ii) light nuclei like lithium.

When a light wave passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, there will be a phase change of pi radians. This difference brings change in the conditions for constructive and destructive interference. This phenomena also reasons the fromation of interference pattern in thin films like, oily layer, soap film, etc., but has no reason on the shifting of fringes from the central portion outward. The shift is dependent on the refractive index of the material as per the relation, Delta y = (mu - 1) t The condition for constructive interference in Lloyd's single mirror experiment is the path difference which is equal to

The thickness of the slab is

(a) Why do we classify elements ? (b) What were the two criteria used by Mendeleev in creating his Periodic Table ? (c ) Why did Mendeleev leave some gaps in his Periodic Table? (d) In Mendeleev's Periodic Table, why was there no mention of Noble gases like Helium, Neon and Argon? (e ) Would you place the two isotopes of chlorine , Cl-35 and Cl-37 in different slots because of their different atomic masses or in the same slot because their chemical properties are the same ?
