Dear sir, I am a high school student, so this is for schoolwork.berkeman said:Welcome to PF.What have you found in your reading and research so far? Please post links to your sources. Thank you.
Also, is this question for schoolwork?

Yes, so they used an evacuated tube for the experiments, it appears:Hasal said:While learning about Rutherford's gold leaf test in the study of atomic structure, I was taught that it was done by shining a beam of accelerated alpha rays on a gold leaf. Alpha rays can be blocked by air or by paper.
That's an interesting question. I'm still looking for that information for that time period...Hasal said:So how did he make the thickness of the gold so small?(thikness of gold foil- 0.6 μm)
Is it possible to believe that the technology called gold beating has been used for this?
Yes. This is very old tech.Hasal said:Is it possible to believe that the technology called gold beating has been used for this?
