Physics

A beam of electrons with energy 250 MeV is elastically scatteredthrough an angle of 10° by a heavy nucleus that is at rest. It isfound that the differential cross-section is 65% of that expectedfor scattering from a point-nucleus. Estimate the root mean squareradius of the nucleus. Neglect the recoil of the nucleus and usethe rest mass of the electron as 0.511 MeV/c2.
