Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 4 April (Evening Shift)

In Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment, only a few alpha particles rebound back because Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A, B Only
  2. B, E Only
  3. C, D Only
  4. A, C, E Only

Answer

(4) A, C, E Only

Solution

A: The nucleus is extremely small compared with the atom, so very few -particles pass close to it. Correct.

B: Charge of an -particle =+2e, of a gold nucleus =+79e; not equal. Incorrect.

C: Only -particles with a very small (nearly zero) impact parameter are scattered through about 180 ; there are only a few such particles. Correct.

D: All -particles of the beam have nearly the same kinetic energy. Incorrect.

E: Rebounding needs a nearly head-on collision, which happens only for a few -particles. Correct.

A, C, E only

Answer: (4)
