Geiger and Marsden measured the number of alpha particles deflected per second at different angles.
The results showed that:
- most alpha particles passed straight through the metal foil
- the number of particles deflected decreased as the angle of deflection increased
- about 1 in 10,000 particles were deflected by more than 90*
From these results Rutherford deduced that there is…
