In an experiment done in the early 1900’s, Rutherford used a radioactive source to bombard a thin sheet of gold foil with a narrow beam of alpha particles. He carefully measured where these alpha particles went after they hit the foil. Thomson’s plum pudding model was the model of the atom being used at the time. Which of the following explains what Rutherford expected to happen based on Thomson’s model, and why he expected these results?

A beam of light from a red laser is allowed to pass through two very closely spaced narrow slits and then fall on a screen (or photographic film). No attempt to measure the light is made before it hits the screen. It produces a series of red spots separated by areas where there is no light, as this picture shows. What does this experiment and pattern demonstrate about the behavior of light? Image Description Five red spots in a horizontal line. The third spot in the middle is the largest. The two spots on either side of the middle get smaller as you move away from the center.
