| geigereMarsden’s a-particle Scattering Experiment
onthe suggestion of Rutherford, in 1911, his two associates, H. Geiger and E. Marsden, performed
Ondaperiment by bombarding -particles (Helium nuclei Z = 2,4 = 4) on a gold foil
observations:
{) Most of the a-particles pass through the gold foil undeflected.
ii) Avery small number of acparticles (1 in $000) suffered large angle deflection; some of them
retraced their path or suffered 180° detection,
Conclusion:
{) Atom is hollow.
(i) Entire positive charge and
nearly whole mass of atom is
concentrated in a small centre
called nucleus of atom.
(ii) Coulomb's law holds good for
atomic distances.
(jo) Negatively charged electrons
are outside the nucleus.
Impact Parameter: The
perpendicular distance of initial
\elocity vector of a-particle from Rutherford Scatering experiment
the nucleus, when the particle is far
away from the nucleus, is called the impact p
of a-particle, b = 0.
Angle of Seatering (4): The angle by which a-particle is deviated from its original direction is
arameter. It is denoted by 6. For head on approach
called angle of scattering eg F

I these energies are expressed by vertical ines on proper scale, the diagram obtained is called the
energy level diagram, The energy level diagram of hydrogen atom is shown in fig. (a). Clearly the
sere) ion between lines goes on decreasing rapidly with increase of m (it, order of orbit). The
series of lines of H-spectrum are shown in fig. (0).
If the total energy of electron is above zero, the electron is free and can have any energy: Thus
there is a continuum of energy states above F = 0 eV.
6. Hydrogen Spectrum
Hydrogen emission spectrum consists of 5 series.
(i) Lyman series: This lies in ultraviolet region.
(ii) Balmer series: This lies in the visible region.
(iii) Paschen series: This lies in near infrared region.
(jo) Brackett series: This lies in mid infrared region.
(«) Pfund series: This lies in far infrared region.
Hydrogen absorption spectrum consists of only Lyman series.
