In Rutherford scattering experiment, what will be the correct angle for ?-scattering for an impact parameter, b=0?
Added by Julia B.
Step 1
The formula is given by θ = 2 * arctan(b / (2 * r)), where θ is the scattering angle, b is the impact parameter, and r is the distance of closest approach. Show more…

Photons of energy 0.2 MeV are being scattered by a free electrons (initially at rest). (a) At what angle must the scattering occur so that photons lose 10% of its energy? (b) What is the momentum of corresponding electrons after scattering?

A Geiger-Marsden experiment, in which alpha particles are scattered off a thin gold film, yields an intensity of $I\left(95.1^{\circ}\right)=1129$ counts/s at a scattering angle of $95.1^{\circ} \pm 0.4^{\circ} .$ At a second scattering angle, the intensity is measured to be 4840 counts/s. Assuming that the scattering obeys the Rutherford formula, what is that second angle (in degrees, to the same uncertainty)?
A Compton scattering experiment is performed using an aluminum target. The incident photons have wavelength $\lambda$. The scattered photons have wavelengths $\lambda^{\prime}$ and energies $E$ that depend on the scattering angle $\theta.$ (a) At what angle $\theta$ are scattered photons with the smallest energy detected? (b) At this same scattering angle $\theta,$ what is the ratio $\lambda^{\prime} / \lambda$ for $\lambda=10.0 \mathrm{pm} ?$
