Rutherford scattering - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -

 

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

AWUWELWA UMNGENI – M Gcumisa

By Sandile MHlophe -
 Umlingiswa ongummeleli emdlaweni othi, Awuwelwa Umngeni. 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...

Why liminal spaces are uncertain and ambiguous

By Sandile MHlophe -
Why liminal spaces are uncertain and ambiguous and promote a feeling of communitas amongst the people who occupy these spaces.  Posted by  Sikhanyisiwe Mkhonto We are constantly moving from one space to another. These are often large socially constructed spaces that create meanings or serve a function in our society. There are however spaces where we are neither in nor out. This space is the centre of two large spaces. A small space where one feels connected with the fellow members who are occupying that small space in that moment (Shortt, 2015: 634).
