About this document
The Scattering Of: Particles by Gold Foil by i. g. is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes an experiment where Rutherford scattered alpha particles off a gold foil to study the structure of atoms. The experimental setup included a polonium source, gold foil, and fluorescent screen to detect scattered alpha particles. The results showed that alpha particles could be deflected at large angles, indicating that the positive charge and mass of an atom are concentrated in a small nucleus.
