Suppose protons were emitted rather than electrons. How would this affect the experiment?

Sagot :

Suppose protons were emitted rather than electrons then it affects the experiment as the mean velocity of proton will be less then mean velocity electron .

The mass of proton is greater than the mass of electrons but charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton . So , due to difference in the mass of electron and proton there will be some effects.  We can conserve the electric energy which is equal to the qe .

The kinetic energy = 1/2[tex]mv^{2}[/tex]

Now changing the electric potential energy into kinetic energy

v = √2qe/m

The mean velocity of proton will be less then mean velocity electron .
