8. Show that the number of a particles scattered by an angle 

8. Show that the number of a particles scattered by an angle O or greater in Rutherford scattering is 2 zZe TIpt Mv2 1 cot? (0/2) , 9. The fraction of 6.0 MeV protons scattered by a thin gold foil, of density 19.3 g/cm3, from the incident beam into a region where scattering angles exceed 60 is equal to 2.0 x 10 . Calculate the thickness of the gold foil, using results of the previous problem.
