everyone knows that Rutherford fired alpha particles at high speed at gold foil and some rebounded directly back and that from this he concluded that it must be very small. what about electrons. if electrons are fired at high speed at gold foil then do some rebound directly back? how far down does this sort of experiment show the field of the electron extending to. how much energy can electrons have and still rebound directly backwards?
