Question

In Rutherford’s scattering experiment, target was bombarded with (i) β-rays (ii) γ -rays (iii) α-rays.

Answer 1

Answer:

iii. answer is third Alfa rays

Answer 2

Alpha rays is the correct answer of this question.

So, the right choice is Option (iii)

Additional Information -

Rutherford did an experiment to find out the model of atom. To do this experiment, he bombarded alpha particles on a thin foil gold.

He observed that maximum rays gets passed through the foil. This implies that there is presence of huge empty space.

Also, when the rays got deflected at small angles, he concluded that positive charge are not evenly distributed.

When the rays deflected at 180 degree, it was proved that nucleus is located at the centre.
