Problem

A stationary ball of radius R is irradiated by a parallel stream of particles whose radius is r. Assuming the collision of a particle and the ball to be elastic, find: (a) the deflection angle 0 of a particle as a function of its aiming parameter b; (b) the fraction of particles which after a collision with the ball are scattered into the angular interval between 0 and 0 + d0; (c) the probability of a particle to be deflected, after a collision with the ball, into the front hemisphere (0 <
