Practice question
Question
An alpha-particle scatters with an impact parameter close to zero. What is the approximate scattering angle?
Explanation
For b approx 0 (head-on collision), the alpha-particle rebounds back, so θ approx 180° approx π radians . This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
