Physics A2 Module 5
Nuclear Instability
This is quite a short module and it is examined in the same paper as the option that you take.
It covers the ideas of radioactivity that you have studied at GCSE, looking at the inverse square law and the exponential decay. The last topic revises some of the important concepts of Modern Physics that you came across in Module 1.
