Topic 7.1 - Lesson 1
Topic 7.1 - Lesson 1
In Topic 7.1, we start revealing some of the deep secrets of the universe, including the behavior of atoms and electrons at the nanoscopic level. How do atoms interact with light? How is energy absorbed by matter? We will answer these questions and more.
Topic 7.1 - Lesson 2
Topic 7.1 - Lesson 2
In our second lesson, will will look at how radioactive elements decay into other elements and products. You are probably aware that radioactive elements decay into other elements, but did you know that protons can become neutrons, and vice versa? IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

Today will will work on some problem sets for Topic 7.3. If you finish the handout early, please work on some Test Yourself Questions.
The table on the right shows a small snippet of some mesons. You may find it useful for answering handout questions.
The Standard Model poster is a nice summary of the information in your data booklet.
