हिन्दीIn Rutherford's \( \alpha \)-particle scattering experiment, what fraction of \( \alpha \)-particles were observed to bounce back, i.e., get deflected by nearly \( 180^\circ \)?
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
About 1 in 20,000
Explanation
Very few \( \alpha \)-particles (\( \sim 1 \) in 20,000) bounced back with a deflection of nearly \( 180^\circ \).
