Quantum and Nuclear

Demonstration: this demonstration focuses on the properties of gamma radiation. You can show that it is much more penetrating...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: in this demonstration, students can get an overview of different types of radiation and can label them as alpha...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: a match flame will ionise the air. Use this to show ionisation and how it can be detected by charging an...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: a radioactive source produces radiation that will ionise the air. The conducting air completes a circuit to...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: Rutherford’s scattering experiment was an ingenious piece of design and interpretation. Whilst it is not...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: This is another model for the scattering of alpha particles; this time using the electrostatic repulsion...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: this model of alpha particle scattering uses ball bearings to represent alpha particles and a plastic hill to...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: this demonstration forms a part of the discussion about the scattering experiment performed by Geiger and...

Practical Activity 14-16

Class practical: some students may have looked at a line source of light through an ordinary grating. Here they look at a...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: this demonstration shows students that light has a particle property: it packages its energy in small packets...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: a qualitative experiment to show the principle of a force on a charged body between two parallel plates.

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: this shows that an electron beam is diffracted when it passes through graphite, suggesting that electrons have...
