Nuclear Physics
infoWhy this? Connecting nuclear structure and stability with radioactive decay, fission, and fusion explains how nuclei change and release energy. Quantitative models of decay and binding energy help us evaluate applications in medicine, dating, and energy generation, including their benefits and risks.
scheduleWhy now? This unit develops the particle interactions and atomic structure introduced in Year 12 Particles and Radiation, drawing on our stronger understanding of conservation laws and energy. Greater mathematical fluency now supports the analysis of exponential decay and nuclear energy changes.
