Answer 1

You plan to pass alpha particles through a field that contains a consistent type of particle. Which configuration will result in the largest deflection of alpha particles? (1 point)

The largest deflection of alpha particles will occur when high-energy alpha particles pass through a field of low mass-number-particles.
