How do the results of the rutherford experiment suggest that the nucleus is positively charged?

Physics

Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, so they are positively charged. In Rutherford's experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. However, occasionally the alpha particles were deflected in their paths, and rarely the alpha particles were deflected backward at a 180 degree angle. Since like charges repel, Rutherford concluded that the cause of the deflections of the positively charged alpha particles had to be something within the atom that was also positively charged.

Calculate the speed of light if the wavelength is 3cm and the period is 1*10^-10
ioda
First you find the frequency which is. 1/T(period) so u get 1*10^10
Now that you know frequency u can solve for speed: s= wavelength* frequency, but don't forget to convert 3cm into meters: 3/100= .03m so now you do (1*10^10)(.3)= 300,000,000 m/s or 3*10^8 m/s

Hope this helped :))
