d _ 1 and d _ 2 are the impact parameters corresponding to...

d1\sqrt{{d}_{1}} and d2\sqrt{{d}_{2}} are the impact parameters corresponding to scattering angles 60°60 ° and 90°90 ° respectively, when an α\alpha particle is approaching a gold nucleus. For d1=xd2{d}_{1} = x{d}_{2}, the value of xx will be _____ .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The relation between impact parameter and scattering angle is b=kze2Ecot⁡(θ2)b = \dfrac{kz{e}^{2}}{E}\cot \left(\dfrac{\theta}{2}\right)

⇒b∝cot⁡(θ2)⇒ b ∝ \cot \left(\dfrac{\theta}{2}\right)

⇒d1∝cot⁡(60°2)⇒ \sqrt{{d}_{1}} ∝ \cot \left(\dfrac{60 °}{2}\right)

⇒d2∝cot⁡(90°2)⇒ \sqrt{{d}_{2}} ∝ \cot \left(\dfrac{90 °}{2}\right)

d1d2=cot⁡(60°2)cot⁡(90°2)=3⇒d1=3d2⇒x=3\dfrac{\sqrt{{d}_{1}}}{\sqrt{{d}_{2}}} = \dfrac{\cot \left(\dfrac{60 °}{2}\right)}{\cot \left(\dfrac{90 °}{2}\right)} = \sqrt{3} ⇒ {d}_{1} = 3{d}_{2} ⇒ x = 3
