| Description: | This learning object is about the Rutherford Experiment conducted in 1911 by Geiger and Marsden at the suggestion of Ernest Rutherford. The applet simulates diffraction of alpha particles (helium nuclei containing two positive charges) by a thin foil made of gold metal. Opposite the gold foil is a zinc sulfide screen that emits a flash of light when struck by an alpha particle. |
