    In Rutherford scattering experiment, what will be the correct angle for a-scattering for an impact parameter, b=0?

    A)  \[90{}^\circ \]

    B)  \[270{}^\circ \] 

    C)  \[0{}^\circ \]

    D)  \[180{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[b=\frac{Z{{e}^{2}}\cot \left( \frac{\theta }{2} \right)}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{k}_{i}}}=0\Rightarrow \cot \left( \frac{\theta }{2} \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{\theta }{2}=90{}^\circ \text{ or }\theta =180{}^\circ \]
