Explain why the observation of alpha particles scattered at very large angles led Rutherford to reject Thomson’s model of the atom and to propose a nuclear model.
An alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus with q=+2e) accelerates across a 100 V potential difference, starting from rest. What is the particle’s kinetic energy in eV when it reaches the negative electrode? This question requires no mathematics beyond what you can do in your head.
Figure 37.7 identified the wavelengths of four lines in the Balmer series of hydrogen.
a. Determine the Balmer formula n and m values for these wavelengths.
b. Predict the wavelength of the fifth line in the spectrum.
