IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.8 Half-Life
Half-Life It is impossible to know when a particular unstable nucleus will decay But the rate at which the activity of a sample decreases can be known This is known as the half-life Half-life is de...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.7 Decay Equations
Decay Equations Changes in N and Z by Radioactive Decay There are four reasons why a nucleus might become unstable, and these determine which decay mode will occur Too many neutrons Decays through ...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.6 Alpha, Beta & Gamma Particles
Alpha, Beta & Gamma Particles Some elements have nuclei that are unstable This tends to be when the number of nucleons does not balance In order to become more stable, they emit particles and/o...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.5 Background Radiation
Background Radiation It is important to remember that radiation is a natural phenomenon Radioactive elements have always existed on Earth and in outer space However, human activity has added to the...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.4 Isotopes & Radioactive Decay
Isotopes AZX Notation A nuclide is a group of atoms containing the same number of protons and neutrons For example, 5 atoms of oxygen are all the same nuclide but are 5 separate atoms Atomic symbol...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.3 Emission & Absorption Spectrum
Emission & Absorption Spectrum Line Spectra Line spectra is a phenomenon that occurs when excited atoms emit light of certain wavelengths which correspond to different colours This comes from d...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.2 Calculating Discrete Energies
Transitions Between Energy Levels Difference in discrete energy levels The difference between two energy levels is equal to a specific photon energy The energy (hf) of the photon is given by: ΔE = ...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记7.1.1 Discrete Energy Levels
Discrete Energy Levels The Photon Model Photons are fundamental particles that make up all forms of electromagnetic radiation A photon is a massless “packet” or a “quantum” of electromagnetic energ...
IB DP Physics: SL复习笔记6.2.3 Gravitational Field Strength
Gravitational Field Strength There is a universal force of attraction between all matter with mass This force is known as the ‘force due to gravity’ or the weight The Earth’s gravitational field is...
