Rutherford Scattering is a 1968 educational science film produced by Project Physics in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada. The film simulates the scattering of alpha particles by a nucleus, replicating Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment. Utilizing a digital computer, the film provides a visual and analytical representation of the experiment, demonstrating how alpha particles interact with atomic nuclei. This simulation aids in understanding the structure of the atom and the discovery of the atomic nucleus.
