Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Alpha scattering from heavy nuclei produced much more backscattering than would be expected from a diffuse nuclear cloud. Only a dense compact nucleus of positive charge could account for the scattering at large angles.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
