7. Atomic Phy

Crazy youtubes and iOS/andriod game all about quantum stuff:  Quantum Kate! (from university of southern denmark)

Atomic Model / Structure

• Plum Pudding vs Rutherford's Model (PHET)

• Rutherford's Model with alpha particle scattering (PHET)

• Youtube  #1 on Rutherford's exp

• Youtube #2 on Rutherford's exp

• Another Rutherford exp simulation (FSU)

• Simplistic Thompson vs Rutherford animated model

Bohr Atom (atomic emission / absorption spectra): 

• Bohr Atom with electron moving between energy levels (Geogebra)

• Models of Hydrogen Atom (Phet)

Wacky Quantum Stuff:

• de Broglie standing wave electron "shells" (Harrison)

• Feynman diagrams (animated)

Alpha, Beta & Gamma Decay / Absorption AND Half-Life:

• Alpha Decay (PHET)

• Beta Decay (PHET)

• Geiger Counter Activity (sources, barriers, etc): Gigaphysics

• Half-life animation (Fendt)

• Half-life (java applet that may need firefox)

• Radiation Chart (how much you get from various things)

• Tutorial with alpha, beta, half life and Uranium decay sequence (Nuclear Museum: Albuquerque)

E=mc^2 Binding E & fission vs fusion:

• Binding Energy Idea (download the swf file)

• Binding Energy per Nucleon graph (download the swf file)

• Fission (with energy curve/graph) Phet

• Simplistic Fission vs Fusion animation

Elementary Particles & Feyman Diagrams:

• the Standard Model (particles) video from CERN

• a longer vid from CERN about the standard model

• Feynman diagrams (animated)

Other Websites:

• info on all things radioactive (uses, sources, halflife, etc)

• Info on uses of common radioactive isotopes
