IBDP Physics (2025): E.3 Radioactive decay (+HL)

This guide is for the DP Physics syllabus with first assessments in 2025

E.3 Radioactive decay (+HL)

Demos and simulations

                                                                                   Note that the beta-particle is accompanied by an antineutrino (not shown in the animation)

 

 

Penetration

A Geiger Muller detector counts the number of gamma/alpha particles/beta particles hitting the end of the tube.

Note! Click the name of the sample to change the isotope.

What's the difference between decay rate and count rate?
