In a neutral atom the number of electrons and protons are the
same. In Carbon it is……… 6
Gravitational - Only Positive
- Very long range
Electromagnetic –
Positive and negative
4 Forces of Nature
Strong Nuclear –
Holds nucleus together
- Very Short Range
Weak NuclearAssociated with beta
decay
Radiation
J’ai fais ça !
 Decay of nucleus by the emission of a
particle or a ray.
 Discovered by Henri Becquerel
 Units 1 Bq is one decay per second
 Natural happens without outside
bombardment
 Artificial happens due to bombardment

A piece of radiation passes through the depletion
layer and creates enough carriers to carry one
pulse of current.
Experiments
All experiments the same stick a
DETECTOR in front of a source and
count the decays.
Move it away for distance and plot
Time for half life and plot
Put things in front for penetration

Nucleus
A small number of high energy alphas are Deflected
More pass unaffected - So the nucleus is very small
Some reflected completely back - Nucleus totally positive.

E = 3.56x10-13 Joules

Fusion
 Fusion is the joining together of 2 light nuclei
to make one nucleus with release of energy.
 Caused by a super fast collision at high
temperature in a magnetic bottle.

Fission-The breaking apart of a heavy nucleus to form
smaller products with release of energy.
1. Subtract mass
in a.m.u.
2. Convert to kg
3. Use E=mc2
Uranium-235
Also produced 3 fast neutrons that can
cause another fission and so a chain
reaction
Moderators slow
down the neutrons
to the right speed
Control Rods stop the
reaction and prevent
meltdown
Hot water to
turbine
Fuel rods contain the
Uranium-235 (Enriched to
ensure chain reaction)

In the isotope U-238 the neutrons must be
slowed down by a moderator – Graphite
Only need one neutron for stable Chain
Reaction (Self sustaining) more than one

form energy in the form of e-m

An electron and a positron collide to make energy.
All the mass of the electrons gets turned into
gamma waves
Matter turns

So Energy E=mc
Into energy
To find frequency of wave E = 2h.f
Use Planks Equation
E=hf
h= planks constant
f= frequency
3.01x10-10 Joules = (6.6x10-34 js)x(f)
f= 3.01x10-10 Joules / 6.6x10-34 js
= 4.56x1023 Hz
Pair Creation
A matter and anti-matter pair
being created by energy from
an e-m wave
e+
eAn electron and a positron are created from a gamma
ray. (We can also get a proton and an anti-proton)
We do the calculation in reverse
To find energy of wave E = h.f
As we get 2 electrons E = 2mc2

New particles are produced from the KE of the colliding
protons They must conserve charge
If we carry in 4Gev (1.6x10-19 . 4x109= 4x10-10 J)
As Energy to make 3 Pions is E=mc2 =(3x 2.4842x10-28xcxc)
=6.7x10-11 J
Subtracting we find the KE after collision.

Beta decay
 In β− decay, the weak force converts a neutron
into a proton while emitting an electron and an
antineutrino
n0 → p+ + e- + νe
This explains loss in energy and momentum.
Pauli proposed it’s existence in 1930 but was
not discovered until 1956 as it is so weakly
interacting with other particles.
