Atomic Physics


1) alpha (α) particle = 2He4 (helium nucleus);

2) beta (β) particle = -1e0 (an electron);

3) a positron +1e0 (same mass as an electron but opposite charge);

4) gamma (γ) ray = no mass, no charge, just electromagnetic energy;

5) Δ /Δ = rate of decay where Δ = change in mass, Δ = change in time.

6) If the number of half-lifes are known we can calculate the percentage of a pure radioactive sample left after undergoing decay since the fraction remaining = (1/2) n .

Nelectrons = 2 n2 , where Nelectrons designates the number of electrons in shell .

The state of each electron is determined by the four quantum numbers:


  • principal quantum number n determines the number of shells, possible values are: 1 (K), 2 (L), 3 (M), etc...

  • angular momentum quantum number l, determines the subshell, possible values are: 0 (s), 1 (p), 2 (d), 3 (f), n-1, etc...

  • magnetic momentum quantum number ml , possible values are: ± , ... , 0

  • spin quantum number ms ,determines the direction of rotation of the electron, possible values are: ±1/2.

The Basics


Right Triangles

sin θ = opp/hyp

cos θ = adj/hyp tan θ =opp/adj
θ = sin -1 x arcsec θ = sec-1θ r2 = x2 + y2

  • angle θ may be given in radians (R) where 1 revolution = 2πR = 360°

  • estimate square root 3 as 1.7 and root 2 as 1.4

  • cross-sectional area of a tube = area of a circle = πr2 where π can be estimated as 3.14 and is the radius of the circle; circumference = 2πr

Some Units to Memorize



  • Both work and energy are measured in joules where 1 joule (J) = 1 × 1 . {Imperial units: the foot- pound , CGS units: the dyne-centimeter or erg }

  • The SI unit for power is the watt (W) which equals one joule per second (J/s) = volts × amperes .

  • Current is measured in amperes = coulombs/sec. The units of resistance are ohms, symbolized by Ω (omega), where 1 ohm = 1 volt/ampere.

  • The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (1 Pa = 1 N/m2 ). Other units are: 1.00 atm = 1.01 × 105 Pa = 1.01 bar = 760 mmHg = 760 torr.

  • The SI unit for the magnetic induction vector is the tesla where 1 T = 1 N/(A)(m) = 104 gauss.
