In the study of Geiger-Marsden experiment on scattering of α-particles by a thin foil of gold, draw the trajectory of o-particles in the Coulomb field of target nucleus. Explain briefly how one gets the information on the size of the nucleus from this study.
From the relation R = R0 A1/3 , where R0 is constant and A is the mass number of the nucleus, Show that nuclear matter density is independent of A.
