Physics

[Treestman]

Can anybody can help me with this one (modern / quantum physics)

1. Observations of alpha-decay show that different isotopes of the same element

(same # of protons, different # of neutrons) emit alpha particles with differing

amounts of kinetic energy. The reason the alpha particles have different amounts

of energy is because of ………

 

[cottage_steeze]

E=hv. v is the wavelength and that differs with each type of particle: alpha, beta, gamma.

 

[cottage_steeze]

alpha particles are more massive and larger than the rest. so they cant penetrate as far. yes.

 

[Treestman]

you dont understand the questions. an alpha particle emitted by one isotope of the same atom can have different KE than an aplpha particle emitted by a different isotope of the same atom

for people who are in modern (post classical / newtonian) quantum .

I do not understand quantum physics yet, still waiting for the lightbulb to click on

M = distance object over distance image. That's what I learned today.

Wait no I fucked that up...god damn it.
