Impact parameter is defined as the perpendicular distance ofthe initial velocityvector ofthe alpha particle from the central line
of the nucleus, when the particle is far away from the nucleus of the atom.
Fig. shows the path or trajectory of an alpha particle in the coulomb field of a heavy nucleus. The impact parameter b and
scattering angle are also shown in the diagram.
(1mark)
For large impact parameters, force experienced by the alpha particle is weak, because F varies as
1/(distance)2. Therefore, when impact parameter is large, an alpha particle will deviate through a much smaller angle. However,
when impact parameter is small, force experienced is large and hence the alpha particle will scatter through a large angle. For the
case of head on collision, impact parameter b tends to zero. The alpha particle will rebound like a ball thrown against a wall,
scattering through 180°.
Fig. shows theoreticallycalculated paths of alpha particles moving with a speed of 1.63 × 107 m/s in the coulomb field of a gold
nucleus. The gold nucleus is supposed to be at the origin O ofthe co-ordinate system. The values of impact parameters chosen
for alpha particles 1, 2, 3, 4 respectivelyare 2.5 fm, 10 fm, 20 fm and100 fm.

24. In an intrinsic semiconductor, each of the 4 valence electrons is between two atoms (Si or Ge) in a shared covalent bond. It is
bound at low temperatures, but at high temperatures it can pick thermal energyand move out of the valence bond and into the
interstitial space. This electron is free to conduct. The vacancy left behind by it is called a hole and it also conducts charge.
(1mark)
Another electron from a different bond can come and occupy this vacancy, hence creating a vacancy elsewhere and causing
motion of bound electrons. These holes move towards the negative potential giving rise to hole current Ih. (1mark)

Let a charged particle is moving in the magnetic field with a velocity v making angle with B.
The component of v along B is v cos , due to which no force will act on the particle. so it will cover a distance along the
magnetic field with a constant speed.
v sin B

v

The perpendicular component v sin will provide a force,
F = qBvsin which provide the necessary centripetal force for the circular motion of the charged particle

Under the combined action of both the velocities the charged particle will undergo a linear as well as a circular motion. So the
resultant path will be a helix. (1mark)
