Understanding Radiation & Nuclear Processes
We step into the world of Modern Physics from Classical Physics.
This means that we include the physics of the very small; at the nano-scale and smaller, as well as the very fast; in the order of the speed of light.
Understanding Radiation and Nuclear Processes are crucially important in Medical Imaging.
Voice software has been used to create accompanying audio for some sections of the work (different voices and modulations are being tested).
