Scattering Concepts
Index page within Hyperphysics site that leads to all pages on scattering topics including Rutherford Scattering.
Rutherford Scattering
Definition of Rutherford scattering: The scattering of alpha particles by a thin sheet of gold foil.
Refraction of Light
Covers the law of refraction including interactive Java tutorials. Links to ideas of fluorescence, diffraction, polarization, reflection, scattering, and Virtual microscopy (Virtual scanning electron ...
Electron Affinity
The ionization energy or ionization potential is the energy necessary to remove an electron from the neutral atom. It is a minimum for the alkali metals which have a single electron outside a closed ...
Scattering of light in the atmosphere
Find out how light scattering makes the sky blue and clouds white.
Rutherford Scattering: Thomson Model of an Atom
A simulation of the Rutherford scattering experiment.
Electron Configurations Java Applet
Chemistry really but shows how electron shells are filled up in atoms
Electron and Positron
As one of the leptons, the electron is viewed as one of the fundamental particles.
Compton Scattering
Arthur H. Compton observed the scattering of x-rays from electrons in a carbon target and found scattered x-rays with a longer wavelength than those incident upon the target.
Hyperphysics - Nuclear Scattering Cross Section
Theory of nuclear scattering cross section and relation to Rutherford's gold foil experiment.
