Okay here's a questio!
A beam of alpha particles produces a current of 1.5 pA. Calculate the number of alpha particles per second passing a point in the beam. And please explain as well

new wave will be straight line.
Haya Ahmed please give him the pictures and animation which i gave you yesterday and explain it to him how i explained it to you. i have to solve many other doubts.
in 1/4 cycle antinode gets from highest point to zero. then in 1/4 it gets to lowest point then in 1/4 it gets to zero. then in 1/4 it gets back to max. so in one T it completes on cycle.


here is Suchal explanation

current = charge/time
charge of an alpha particle = +4e
number of alph particle = n
total charge = n4e
current = 1.5 x 10 -12
so 1.5 x 10 -12 = 4ne/1 second
n=(1.5 x 10 -12)/4e = (1.5 x 10 -12)/4(1.6x10 -19) = 2.34 X 10 6

I think you are wrong. charge of an alpha particle is +2 not +4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
