Draw the graph showing the variation of the number (N) of scattered alpha particles with scattering angle ( $\displaystyle \theta$ ) in Geiger - Marsden experiment. Infer two conclusions from the graph.
Plot suitable graphs to show the variation of photoelectric current with the collector plate potential for the incident radiation of
(i)
the same intensity but different frequencies $\displaystyle v_{1}, v_{2}$ and $\displaystyle v_{3}\left(v_{1}<v_{2}<v_{3}\right)$
(ii)
the same frequency but different intensities $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}_{1}, \mathrm{I}_{2}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}_{3}\left(\mathrm{I}_{1}<\mathrm{I}_{2}<\mathrm{I}_{3}\right)$
Marking-scheme solution
Most of the alpha particles pass undeviated through the gold foil.
A few alpha particles, get deflected through $\displaystyle 90$° or more.
Only about $\displaystyle 0.14$% of the incident alpha particles are reflected by large angle.
A very few alpha particles retrace their path.
