IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.7 Measuring Half-Life
Measuring Half-Life Half-life is defined as: The time taken for the initial number of nuclei to halve for a particular isotope This means when a time equal to the half-life has passed, the activity...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.6 The Law of Radioactive Decay
The Law of Radioactive Decay Since radioactive decay is spontaneous and random, it is useful to consider the average number of nuclei which are expected to decay per unit of time This is known as t...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.5 The Neutrino
The Neutrino An electron neutrino is a type of subatomic particle with no charge and negligible mass which is also emitted from the nucleus The anti-neutrino is the antiparticle of a neutrino Elect...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.4 Nuclear Energy Levels
Nuclear Energy Levels In the same way that electrons can exist in excited states, nuclei can also exist in excited states After an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle, beta particle or undergo...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.3 Deviations from Rutherford Scattering
Deviations from Rutherford Scattering In the Rutherford scattering experiment, alpha particles are fired at a thin gold foil Some of the alpha particles are found to come straight back from the gol...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.2 Nuclear Scattering
Nuclear Scattering Electrons accelerated to close to the speed of light have wave-like properties such as the ability to diffract and have a de Broglie wavelength equal to: Where: h = Planck's con...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.2.1 Rutherford Scattering & Nuclear Radius
Rutherford Scattering & Nuclear Radius In the Rutherford scattering experiment, alpha particles are fired at a thin gold foil Initially, before interacting with the foil, the particles have kin...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.1.10 Tunnelling
Tunnelling Single potential wells lead to quantised energy levels and their associated wavefunctions The wavefunction extends throughout space However, for infinitely deep square wells the wavefunc...
IB DP Physics: HL复习笔记12.1.9 The Uncertainty Principle
The Uncertainty Principle The quantisation of energy levels and their associated wave functions leads to some surprising outcomes One of these outcomes is known as the uncertainty principle The unc...
