7.15 describe the results of Geiger and Marsden’s experiments with gold foil and alpha particles

Geiger and Marsden made an experiment with alpha particle. They shoot alpha radiation to a thin gold foil. The gold foil was surround by zinc sulphide screen which detected the presence of alpha particles. The result was, few alpha particles went straight through the foil, some bended a little bit and some deflected at high angles.
