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.       

Topic 1 Basic Radioactivity
Topic 2 Inverse Square Law of Gamma Radiation
Topic 3 Exponential Law of Decay
Topic 4 Variation of N with Z
Topic 5 Probing Matter
