$A$ beam of fast-moving alpha particles was directed towards a thin gold foil. The parts $A'$,$B'$,and $C'$ of the transmitted and reflected beams corresponding to the incident parts $A$,$B$,and $C$ of the beam are shown in the adjoining diagram. The number of alpha particles in:

  • A
    $B'$ will be minimum and in $C'$ maximum
  • B
    $A'$ will be maximum and in $B'$ minimum
  • C
    $A'$ will be minimum and in $B'$ maximum
  • D
    $C'$ will be minimum and in $B'$ maximum
