Options:
  • A the number of α- particle in A is maximum and in B minimum
  • B the number of α- particles in A is minimum and in C maximum
  • C the number of α- particles in A , B and in C is the same.

The correct answer is: the number of α- particle in A is maximum and in B minimum
From figure, we can see that B is reflected totally, so transmission of B is minimum.

But A is passing through foil with minimum deviation.

Therefore, transmission of A is maximum.
