Show Hint
Quantization effects become observable only when the action involved is comparable to Planck's constant \(h\). For macroscopic objects such as planets,
\[
L \gg \frac{h}{2\pi},
\]
so quantum effects are practically unobservable and classical mechanics works extremely well.

Top Questions on Alpha-Particle Scattering And Rutherford’S Nuclear Model Of Atom
- Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Most of the mass of the atom and all its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus and the electrons revolve around it, is Rutherford’s model.
Statement II : An atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it, is a special case of Rutherford’s model.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below.- JEE Main - 2024
