    In Rutherford scattering experiment, the number of a-particles scattered at \[60{}^\circ \] is \[5\times {{10}^{6}}\]. The number of a-particles scattered at \[120{}^\circ \] will be

    A)  \[15\times {{10}^{6}}\]

    B)    \[\frac{3}{5}\times {{10}^{6}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{5}{9}\times {{10}^{6}}\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[N\propto \frac{1}{{{\sin }^{4}}\theta /2};\frac{{{N}_{2}}}{{{N}_{1}}}=\frac{{{\sin }^{4}}\left( {{\theta }_{1}}/2 \right)}{{{\sin }^{4}}\left( {{\theta }_{2}}/2 \right)}\] \[\text{or }{{N}_{2}}=5\times {{10}^{6}}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}{{\left( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}^{4}}=\frac{5}{9}\times {{10}^{6}}\]
