Ionizing Radiation From The Nucleus
Bayani Gaba-gaba
Put a radiation counter on a bench in an empty room, switch it on and walk away. It clicks. Not steadily, and not because anything in the room is broken: a click now, two more a second later, then a pause, then another. Those clicks have been arriving since long before anyone built a counter to hear them, and they are coming from the bricks in the wall, from the food in your bag, from the air you are breathing and from the depths of space. Somewhere inside each of those sources, a nucleus that had held together for a million years chose this particular second to fall apart, and nothing that has ever been done to it changed that choice by a fraction of a second.
This lesson is about that behaviour and about how physicists learned to work with it without ever being able to predict any single event. You will find out what an unstable nucleus throws out and why, why a sheet of paper stops one kind of radiation while several centimetres of lead only weaken another, how to strip the ever present background out of a reading before you trust it, and how a table of counts against distance can name an invisible emission you never saw. Extension Tier candidates go one step further and write the decay down as an equation, using nothing harder than subtraction. By the end you will be able to look at a set of detector readings and say what the source is doing.
Manufura
- Some atomic nuclei are unstable. The nucleus emits particles or radiation and the nucleus changes to that of a different element and becomes more stable. This is a random process called radioactive decay.
- Energy is emitted by changes in the nucleus.
- Unstable nuclei emit alpha particles, beta particles, or neutrons, and electromagnetic radiation as gamma waves. Neither chemical nor physics processes affect this behaviour. These substances are said to be radioactive and although the general process follows a pattern this radioactive decay is a random process. It is impossible to predict when a particular atom might decay.
- Background radiation is around us all of the time. It comes from a range of sources, such as radioactive substances in the environment, from space or from devices such as X-ray machines in hospitals.
- An alpha particle consists of two neutrons and two protons (i.e. a Helium nucleus). A beta particle is a high speed electron ejected from the nucleus as a neutron turns into a proton. Gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation from the nucleus.
- Nuclear equations are used to represent radioactive decay. Students will be required to balance equations for single alpha and beta decay, limited to the completion of atomic number and mass number. The identification of daughter elements from such decays is not required.
- Properties of the alpha, beta and gamma radiations are limited to their relative ionising power, their penetration through materials and their range in air.
