Nuclear Fission

  • The breaking up of a larger nucleus into smaller nuclei
  • The decrease in mass per nucleon, matches the increase in binding energu per nucleon
  • This binding energy per nucleon is a negative energy and represents energy that is lost (radiated away) during the reaction. 
  • Binding energy per nucleon also represents the energy that would need to be added to liberate a nucleon from the nucleus

Nuclear Fusion
  • The joining of smaller nuclei into a larger nucleus

Binding Energy per Nucleon

Binding Energy per Nucleon is a negative energy or a debt of energy. This is the amount of energy it would take to liberate a nucleon from the nucleus. This energy was originally radiated off when the nucleus formed.

The energy radiated off, the Binding energy, is lost energy and comes from mass that is lost by the nucleons. Mass per Nucleon shows what is left over once a bound nucleon has radiated away some of its mass.


Mass per Nucleon


Fission:The breaking up of a larger nucleus into smaller daughter nuclei. Anything above Iron will radiate off energy.

Fusion:
The joining of smaller nuclei into a larger nucleus. Anything below Iron will radiate off energy.

  Homework

  • Act 4A, p.56 Properties of Waves
  • Act 5A, p.73-74 Standing Waves
  • Act 5B, p.79-80 Music
  • Act 6A, p.85-86 The Doppler Effect

  • Longitudinal Waves

    Particle displacement in the medium is parallel to the direction of wave propagation e.g. sound waves, primary earthquake waves

    Transverse Waves
    Particle displacement in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation e.g. light and other electromagnetic waves, secondary earthquake waves

    Frequency - Period


    Sound Waves
    Superposition of Waves

    Waves travel through each other and the total amplitude at any moment is equal to the sum of amplitudes of the individual waves.


    Standing Waves
    In musical instruments - when a reflected wave travels back through itself causing fixed points of Nodes (Deconstructive Interference) and Antinodes (Constructive Interference) due to the fractional relationship between the wavelength (𝜆) of the wave and the length (L) of the resonating chamber
