Hello dhruv,
zinc sulphide releases a photon having wavelength of visible light when it is hit by a charged particle. in alpha scattering, alpha particles are scattered to different degree and when the finally hit the ZnS screen, the visible light helps us to visualize the structure because we get to know where the alpha particle has hit the ZnS screen hence the degree to which it has been deflected.
please feel free to ask if you have any other doubt and approve my answer if you like it :)
