TRANSCRIPT
Title:range of alpha and Beta particles in
air• Prior learning
– Properties of alpha beta gamma– Penetration power through paper,
aluminum,Lead• Key words
– Geiger muller counter, Stop clock, penetration
Topic – Physics 2aMonday 8th February
Alpha, Beta, Gamma Radiation
• Complete practical activity safely to produce accurate data
• Design suitable table to record results and discuss findings
• Draw diagrams to and write equations to show alpha beta and gamma decay
By the end of thi lesson we should be able to:
Topic – Physics 2a
s
Task 1: Match the symbol
•α
•ß
•γ
• High energy electron formed when a neutron changes into a proton and an electron
• 2 protons 2 neutrons 2+ charge
• Wave of EM radiation, highly penetrating
Topic – Physics 2a
Recap Alpha deay
• Alpha decay• 2 protons 2neutrons (helium
particle)
• 238U 234Th + 4α + energy
Topic – Physics 2a
92 90 2
Recap – Beta decay
• Beta• (ß) 14C 14N + 0 ß + V+ energy• Beta particles are electrons
originating from the NUCLEUS of a radioactive atom.
• This occurs when an excess neutron changes into a proton and an electron whilst ejecting an antineutrino particle (uncharged/massless)

Recap – Gamma decay
• Gamma rays • (light/EM radiation) no mass,
uncharged• Usually released after alpha or beta
decay
•(γ) 131I 131Xe + 0 e + γ

Thin mica Thinaluminiumstops beta
Thick leadreduces gamma
Skin orpaper stopsalpha
