The correct answer to the question is : C) The horizontal momentum and the vertical momentum are both conserved.
EXPLANATION :
Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the law of conservation of momentum.
As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total linear as well as angular momentum of an isolated system is always conserved . The law of conservation of energy is a universal fact.
Hence, during any type of collision, the total momentum is always conserved.
Hence, the total horizontal momentum as well as total vertical momentum are always conserved during both elastic as well as inelastic collision.
Answer:
electrons exist in specified energy levels
Explanation:
In its gold-foil scattering with alpha particles, Rutherford proved that the plum-pudding model of the atom theorised by Thomson was wrong.
From his experiment, Rutherford inferred that the atom actually consists of a very small nucleus, where all the positive charge is concentrated, and the rest of the atom is basically empty, with the electrons (negatively charged) orbiting around the nucleus at very large distance.
However, Rutherford did not specify anything about the orbits of the electrons. Later, Bohr predicted that the electrons actually orbit the nucleus in specific orbits, each orbit corresponding to a specific energy level. Bohr's model found confirmation in the observation of the emission spectrum lines: when an electron in one of the higher energy level jumps down into an orbit with lower energy, the atom emits a photon which has an energy exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two orbits (and this energy of the photon corresponds to a precise wavelength).
