Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If an alpha-particle has an initial kinetic energy of 5 MeV, calculate the maximum distance it can approach a gold nucleus (Z=79) before it reverses direction.
π‘ Hint: Recall how kinetic energy converts to potential energy at maximum approach.
Question 2
Design an experiment to observe scattering of alpha-particles with a different material. What parameters would you change and why?
π‘ Hint: Consider how target material properties influence scattering.
