Answer:
In 1910, Ernest Rutherford oversaw Geiger and Marsden carrying out his famous experiment. Rutherford knew he could not ever see inside an atom using visible light, because its wavelength is too long. However, he realised that he could probe inside the atom using a particle that is smaller than the atom.

Explanation:
Rutherford's atomic model described the atom as having a positively charged dense nucleus that is tiny compared to the atom as a whole. In Thomson's plum-pudding model, electrons were stuck in a chunk of positive charge.
