Rutherford scattering - Simulation

By -

 

Topics

  • Atomic Nuclei
  • Atomic Structure
  • Quantum Mechanics

Description

How did Rutherford figure out the structure of the atom without being able to see it? Simulate the famous experiment in which he disproved the Plum Pudding model of the atom by observing alpha particles bouncing off atoms and determining that they must have a small core.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Describe the qualitative difference between scattering off positively charged nucleus and electrically neutral plum pudding atom.
  • For charged nucleus, describe qualitatively how angle of deflection depends on: Energy of incoming particle, Impact parameter, Charge of target

 BENGITHI LIZOKUNA – NG Sibiya Umbuzo: Xoxa ngempumelelo yombhali ekudluliseni umyalezo othi: 'Izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yethu neyabanye abantu' ubhekise kulaba balingiswa: uMhlengi/Mahlengi, uNontobeko, uXolani, noNgidi kule noveli ethi, Bengithi Lizokuna. ISINGENISO Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli umayelana nokuthi izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle kwabanye abantu nakithina uqobo. Ohlolwayo angasebenzisa la maphuzu alandelayo namanye amayelana nomyalezo kule noveli.

 Umlingiswa ongummeleli emdlaweni othi, Ubhuku lwamanqe. ISINGENISO  Ummeleli ngumlingiswa oyiqhawe. Indaba yonke incike kuye.  Yize engekho kwezinye izehlakalo kodwa ziyamthinta ngandlela thize. Indaba yonke imayelana naye. Ubhekana nenkinga ethile ashikashikeke ezama ukuyixazulula. Kuyenzeka aphumelele noma ehluleke.

 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungawazisi umndeni wakho kuba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yakho. UMZIMBA  UBafana  Ukuba yisifundiswa kukaBafana kwenza ukuba uBafana awubukele phansi/angawazisi umndeni wakhe. La maphuzu alandelayo akhombisa izinto ezenziwa uBafana ukungawunakekeli umndeni wakhe:  • UBafana uxosha umalume wakhe kabuhlungu uma ezocelela izingane zikaLinono indawo yokuhlala.  • Ukungazwani kukaBafana noPoppie kwenza u-Euthenasia eqe ekhaya.  • UBafana akanasikhathi sezingane zakhe.  • UBafana uba nomona ngokuzithuthukisa kukaPoppie ngokufunda umtshela nokuthi akayeke ukufunda.  • Ukuhluleka kukaBafana ukubhekana nezinkinga zasemzini wakhe kwamenza walifulathela ikhaya. Umphumela wokungawazisi umndeni empilweni kaBafana: • Udlala izin...

 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungabi nesimilo esihle kungaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yethu neyabanye abantu. UMZIMBA  UDumazile  Ukungabi nesimilo esihle kukaDumazile esemncane noma eseganile kwadala le miphumela engemihle elandelayo:  • Ukuqoma uthisha uMoloi ebe eyingane yesikole okwaba nomphumela wokukhulelwa ingane kaMoloi nokuxabana noMisi Hlophe bebanga uMoloi  • Ukuxoshwa kukaDumazile esikoleni kunomphumela omubi ngoba kugcina kuxabanise abazali bakhe.  • Ukuqoma uSithole ngemuva kokuxoshwa nguMaNzimande emzini kaSithole kwagcina kunomphumela wokukhulelwa ingane kaSithole.  • Ukuhlela isu lokushisa isitolo sikaSithole kwaba nomphumela wokuthi uSithole agcine esehlupheka ngoba umshwalense wala ukusikhokhela.  • Ukuba nobudlelwano bezoc...

Do we have free-will?

By -
 Are you free?  we often think we are free but are we really free? this question sounds so simple yet it is actually not. What does it even mean to be free? Well in this post I will explain to the best of my knowledge what is free will and whether we have it or not. can you escape fate? Let's consider the story below: When Thabiso was born a prophet foretold that he would grow up to kill his father and then marry his mother. His father fearing for his life decided to leave the baby in the wilderness with the hope that he will die, thefore the prophecy will not come  true. The baby was found by another couple, and grew up knowing them as his parents. The boy heard of the prophecy, not knowing his adopted and because he loves his father(adopted) he decided to go away from his family to avoid the prophecy. In the way he met and killed a man and then felt bad for the wife of this man, he decided to marry her. The man he met is in fact his fat...
