microwaves (which don’t cause cancer)‚ X-rays‚ a green thing that glows in the dark‚ the Incredible Hulk‚ or the song by Imagine Dragons. The actual definition is the emission of high energy particles or waves. This can mean many things‚ but the two most common are electromagnetic waves (photons)‚ or high energy particles released from decaying atoms. The one that I will be talking about is radioactive atoms (the green things that glow in the dark). This kind of radiation is called nuclear

What is the particle theory? The particle theory says that that matter consists of many small particles with spaces in between. The particles are constantly moving‚ the higher it’s temperature‚ the faster they move. All the particles are attracted to each other. The particles move faster and move further apart when heated‚ and the reverse when cooled. Each substance has unique particles that are different from the particles of other substances. Particle theory helps to explain the behaviour of

A French cyclotron‚ produced in Zurich‚Switzerland in 1937 A modern cyclotron for radiation therapy A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path. The particles are held to a spiral trajectory by a static magnetic field and accelerated by a rapidly varying (radio frequency) electric field. History[edit] The cyclotron was invented and patented[1] by Ernest

In particle physics‚ antimatter is material composed of antiparticles‚ which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but have opposite charge and other particle properties such as lepton and baryon number. Encounters between particles and antiparticles lead to the annihilation of both‚ giving rise to varying proportions of high-energy photons (gamma rays)‚ neutrinos‚ and lower-mass particle–antiparticle pairs. Setting aside the mass of any product neutrinos‚ which represent released energy

institute. 1. Two particles‚ P and Q‚ of mass 2 kg and 1.5 kg respectively are at rest on a smooth‚ horizontal surface. They are connected by a light‚ inelastic string which is initially slack. Particle P is projected away from Q with a speed of 7 m s-1. (a) (b) Find the common speed of the particles after the string becomes taut. Calculate the impulse in the string when it jerks tight.

Science: Bringing Countries Together Governments in the Middle East are talking about a new particle accelerator named Sesame‚ which‚ they hope‚ will be functional by 2015. Sesame will be the first particle accelerator in the Middle East. Countries as opposed as Turkey‚ Pakistan‚ Cyprus‚ Iran and Israel are all involved. How amazing is it that this scientific community is ignoring political issues and joining together? Even better‚ their governments are supporting them. The name Sesame stands
