Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment   Before you go through this experiment, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on Rutherford’s α-particle scattering experiment.   We have discussed- On the suggestion of Rutherford, his two associates Geiger and Marsden in 1911 performed an experiment on the scattering of alpha particles. They obtained an […]

Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment-   On the suggestion of Rutherford, his two associates Geiger and Marsden in 1911 performed an experiment on the scattering of alpha particles and obtained an important insight into the structure of the atom. This led to the birth of the nuclear model of an atom– a major step towards how […]
