In Rutherford's experiment, a thin gold foil was bombarded by alpha particles. If Thomson's "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom were correct, what would have been the outcome of the experiment?
(a)Alpha particles would have got embedded in the foil.
(b)All the alpha particles would have been deflected from the foil.
(c)All the alpha particles would have been bounced back from the foil.
(d)Alpha particles would have passed through the foil with little or no deflection.
