Answer:
<em>The new force is 2/3 of the original force</em>
Explanation:
<u>Coulomb's Law
</u>
The electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
Written as a formula:
Where:
q1, q2 = the objects' charge
d= The distance between the objects
Suppose the first charge is doubled (2q1) and the second charge is one-third of the original charge (q2/3). Now the force is:
Factoring out 2/3:
Substituting the original force:
The new force is 2/3 of the original force
Rutherford's experiment<span> utilized positively charged alpha particles (He with a +2 charge) which were deflected by the dense inner mass (nucleus). The conclusion that could be formed from this result was that </span>atoms<span> had an inner core which contained most of the mass of an </span>atom<span> and was positively charged.</span>
In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):
Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.
So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:
Therefore the correct option is the second one.
