Alpha particles of kinetic energy K are scattered either
from a gold foil or a silver foil of identical thickness. What
is the ratio of the number of particles scattered at angles
greater than 90° by the gold foil to the same number for
the silver foil?
Ancient Meat Eating. The amount of meat in prehistoric diets can be determined by measuring the ratio of the isotopes 15N to 14N in bone from human remains. Carnivores concentrate 15N, so this ratio tells archaeologists how much meat was consumed. For a mass spectrometer that has a path radius of 12.5 cm for 12C ions (mass 1.99 * 10-26 kg), find the separation of the 14N (mass 2.32 * 10-26 kg) and 15N (mass 2.49 * 10-26 kg) isotopes at the detector.

- The mass difference between two isotopes is sometimes just a neutron mass. The spectrometer should separate them very well. For such an isotope combination, the difference in radius should be around 1 cm. That is r2 - ri = 1 cm. In order to achieve this, choose a magnetic field with a magnitude in Tesla (maximum magnetic field you can obtain from a conventional magnet is around 2.5 T so be far away from this value) and choose the direction also. Then determine the velocity of isotope you need. Last calculate radius r of a Pbz04 smallest isotope.arrow_forwardHow much kinetic energy must an alpha particle have before its distance of closest approach to a gold nucleus is equal to the nuclear radius (7.0 × 10-¹5 m)?arrow_forwardA, Explain the importance of reducing exposure dose and time to a patient undergoing a diagnostic X-ray examination.
