You will write three functions for the scattering of alpha particles by a nucleus.
The idea. In a head-on hit the closest approach is in fm, with in MeV. The angle of deflection follows .
Your tasks.
closest_approach, return in fm for a nucleus with charge and an alpha particle of energy in MeV.deflection, return the angle of deflection, in degrees, for the impact parameter .impact_parameter, return the impact parameter, in fm, that gives a chosen angle of deflection.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
