Rutherford Gold Foil Experiment - Backstage Science
Loading...
Uploaded by BackstageScience on Apr 14, 2011
Ernest Rutherford's famous gold foil experiment involves the scattering of alpha particles as they pass through a thin gold foil.
It led to a better understanding of the structure of atoms.
It's also known as the Geiger--Marsden experiment, after Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden who performed it under Rutherford's supervision.
Particle physicist Bruce Kennedy explains wit this modern re-creation.
