Question

In a scattering experiment, the area of the particle detector α is 0.50 cm2 . The detector is at 10 cm of a 1.0 mm thick silver foil. The incident beam carries a current of 1.0 nA and the energy of each of the particles is 6.0 MeV. How many particles per second will the detector count at 60 degrees?

Step 1

Given: Density of silver (ρ) = 10.49 g/cm^3 Avogadro's number (N_A) = 6.02 x 10^23 particles/mol Mass of silver (m) = 107.8 g/mol Number of particles per unit volume (n) = ρ * N_A / m n = 10.49 * 6.02 x 10^23 / 107.8 n = 5.85 x 10^28 particles/cm^3 Show more…
