Scattering of Particles. Rutherford-Bohr Atom

Problem 6.9

A narrow beam of alpha particles with kinetic energy 1.0MeV1.0 \mathrm{MeV} falls normally on a platinum foil 1.0 μ \mu m thick. The scattered particles are observed at an angle of 6060^{\circ} to the incident beam direction by means of a counter with a circular inlet area 1.0 cm21.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{2} located at the distance 10 cm10 \mathrm{~cm} from the scattering section of the foil. What fraction of ecottoi reaches the counter inlet?
