NUCLEAR PHYSICS: Chapter 19
Branch of physics that deals with the study of the nucleus is called nuclear physics.
THE NECLEUS:
The central part of an atom having positive charge is called nucleus. It contains protons
and neutrons.
PROTON:
Proton is a positively charged particle present inside the nucleus. Its mass is 91.67x10-27 kg
and its charge is +1.6x1019 kg.
NEUTRON:
Neutron is a neutral particle present inside the nucleus. Its mass is 1.67x1027 kg.
ELECTRON:
Electron is a negatively charged particle revolves around the nucleus in the orbits. Its
mass is 9.1x10-31 kg and its charge is 1.6x10-19 C.
MASS NUMBER:
The total number of protons and neutrons present inside the nucleus is called mass number.
OR
The total number of neutrons present inside the nucleus is called mass number.
i.e. A = Z + N
A = mass number, Z = protons/electrons number, N = neutron number.
CHARGE NUMBER / ATOMIC NUMBER:
The number of protons or electrons present in the atom is called atomic number or
charge number. It is denoted by Z.
NEUTRON NUMBER:
The number of neutrons present in the nucleus is called neutron number. It is denoted
by N
Mathematically it is given as:
N = A – Z
Where N = neutron number, A = mass number.
NEUTRAL RADIOACTIVITY:
Definition:
The spontaneous emission of invisible rays from elements having atomic number
greater than 82 is called radioactivity. The invisible rays are called radioactive rays and
the elements which emit such rays are called radioactive element.
Examples:
Radioactive elements are polonium (z = 84), Radium (z = 88), thorium (z=90) , uranium
(z=92) etc. As the phenomenon is natural, therefore it is termed as natural
radioactivity. It was discovered by Henry Becquerel.
ALPHA, BETA AND GAMMA RAYS:
(Ruther ford’s experiment.)
Ruther ford’s performed an experiment to study the radiations emitted by radioactive
element. A radioactive element for example radium is placed in a cavity made in the
block of the lead. The radiation coming out of the whole in the cavity are allowed to
enter into a vacuum chamber in which magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the
plane of the paper and having direction toward. The charged radiations are deflected
by the magnetic field. Three images are produced on the photographic plate which is
placed in the vacuum chamber straight above the radiations bending towards left are
positively charged radiations and are called Apha () rays. The radiations bending
towards right are negatively charged and are called rays. The under acted radiations
are neutral.
PROPERTIES OF RADIOACTIVE RAYS:
1. Alpha rays:
i. The are positively charged radiations.
ii. They consist of positively charged helium nuclei, called particle (2He4)
iii. Each particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
iv. Mass of alpha particle is equal to mass of helium nuclei.

iv. Y – rays have frequency greater than the frequency of x – rays.
v. Y – rays have negligible ionization power.
vi. Y – rays have very high penetrating power.
vii. Y – rays producer feeble flourensence.
viii. Y – rays eject electrons when fall on metal.
ix. Y – rays travel with the speed of light.
HALF LIFE OF AN ELEMENT:
Definition:
The deviation in which original number of atom becomes half is called half life of an element. OR
The time in which half of the given number of radioactive atoms, decay into daughter,
is called half life of an element.
Mathematical form:
Mathematically, it is given as:
T1/2 = 0.693/
Where T1/2 = half life = decay constant
When an element decays by or emission if is converted into new element. The new
element is called daughter element and the original element is called parent element.
RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES:
Definition:
“Element having same atomic number but different atomic masses are called isotopes.”
If one isotope is unstable and emits radioactive rays is called radio isotopes.
OR
“Elements having same proton number but different neutron number and emit , or
rays are called radioactive isotope.”
EXAMPLE:
I. Carbon has two isotopes 6C12 and 6C14 . 6C14 is unstable are emit rays.
Therefore it is considered as a radioactive isotope.
II. Hydrogen has three isotopes, 1H1 , 1H2 and 1H3 .
1H3 is radioactive isotopes and emits out particle.
EINSTEIN ENERGY MASS RELATION:
According to the special theory of relativity, “Energy and mass are interconvert able
mass can be converted into energy and energy can be converted into mass.”
Einstein energy mass radiation is given as
E = mC2
Where, E = energy, m = mass, C = velocity of light.
NUCLEAR REACTION:
DEFINITION:
A reaction which produce certain changes to the nucleus is called nuclear reaction.
NUCLEAR FISSION:
DEFINITION:
The process in which heavy decomposed into lighter nuclei is called nuclear fission or
the phenomenon in which heavy nucleus is broken into two middle order nuclei with
the release of energy is called nuclear fission.
EXAMPLE:
The nuclear fission is given as
92U235 + 0 n1 36Ba144 + 36Kr90 + 3 0n1 + Energy
The energy is released because mass on the right hand is less than the mass on the left
hand side. The difference in mass (loss of mass) is converted into energy.
NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION:
DEFINITION:
A reaction which once starts repeat itself in the same manner is called nuclear chains reaction.
EXAMPLE:
When 92U235 is bombarded by slow reaction, fission is produced. The three neutrons
released in this fission can be employed to produce fission in three other nuclei of
92U235 and a chain reaction can be developed as shown in figure. If this process is
allowed to continue, then more and more nuclei undergo fission and larger amount of
energy is released. This is called nuclear chain reaction.
TYPES OF CHAIN REACTION:
There are two types of chain reaction:
i. Controlled chain reaction.
ii. Uncontrolled chain reaction.
NUCLEAR REACTORS:
DEFINITION:
A device which is used to perform nuclear chain reaction in controlled manner is called
nuclear reactor.
OR
“A system used to obtain controlled amount of head from nuclear fission is called
nuclear reactor.”
The nuclear chain reaction in uranium releases energy in the form of heart. If the chain
reaction is controlled a constant. How of heat is obtained this heat can be used to run
generator for producing electricity.
The fissionable material 92U235 is fission element. The three neutrons released in each
fission are fast moving. These neutrons must be slowed down because only neutrons
produced fission in 92U235 the process of slowing down of neutrons is called
moderation. In the reactor heavy water is such as moderator.
The chain reaction is controlled by using neutron absorbing rods. Two out of the three
neutrons are absorbed by control rods.
The heat produced in the nuclear reactor is carried away by the circulation of
carbondioxide is the core of reactor. It is used to produce steam and this steam is used
to run the generator for producing electricity.
NUCLEAR FUSSION:
DEFINITION:
The phenomenon in which two light nuclei are combined with the release of energy, is
called nuclear fussion or fussion reaction.
OR
“The process in which two lighter nuclei combines together to heavy. Heavy nucleus is
called nuclear fussion.”
EXAMPLE:
1H2 + 1H3 2He+ + 0n1 + energy
1H2 + 1H2 2He4 + energy.
ENERGY OF THE SUN:
Solar energy from the sun is due to the fusion of hydrogen into helium. This fusion is
fossible because the temperature in the sun is about 1.5x106 C. The fusion reaction
that happens in the sun is given as::
1H2 + 1H2 2H4 + energy
THE ATOMIC BOMB:
The atomic bomb is based on nuclear fission. The maximum amount of mass required
to start the nuclear fission is called critical mass. If the mass is slightly greater than the
critical mass, the chain reaction will develop at a faster rate and in a very short time
tremendous amount of energy will be released. This producer is adopted in atomic
bomb.
THE HYDROGEN BOMB:
The hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of nuclear fission. To start fission
reaction, a very high temperature is nucleated. This high temperature is obtained from
fission chain reaction.
The energy released in the explosion of hydrogen bomb is far greater than that
released from the explosion of an atom.
USES OF RADIO ISOTOPES:
The isotopes of an element which emits out radiation is called radio isotope. Radio
isotopes are widely used in
i. Agriculture
ii. Medicine etc.
I INDUSTRY:
A Radio isotopes are used to check the thickness of the material being produced.
B Radio isotopes are used to detect cracks in welded joints.
C Radio isotopes are used to detect the leakages in pipes.
II AGRICULTURE:
A Varieties of seeds for various agriculture commodities which show resistance
against the attacks of pets have been produced after imitation through
radiations from radio isotopes.
B Radiation from radio isotopes are used to kill bacteria and preserve food stuff.
C It is used to determine the optimum amount of fertilizers and other nutrient
intake by plants. Its count rate is used to determine the amount of chemicals
absorbed by various parts of the plants.
III MEDICINE:
A Radio isotopes iodine 131, is used to study thyroid glands.
B Radio isotopes phosphorus 32 is used to locate the position of tumor in the
brain.
C Radio isotope strontium is used in the treatment of internal wounds.
D Radio isotope sodium is used tracing the blood circulation in the body.
E Radio isotope phosphorus has found effective for heating leukemia as radiation
emitted by Hood cancer if destroys the excess production of white blood corpuscles (cells).
F Radio isotope cobalt – 60 is used to treat cancerous tumors inside the body RADIATION HAZARDS:
In contrast to good use in industry, agree culture medicine etc. nuclear radiations are very
dangerous to the human body. They can damage the body cells due to the ionization which
they produce. A body, if strongly heated suffers the following diseases.
i. Anemia (a decrease in red blood corpuscles).
ii. Leukemia (an increase in white blood corpuscles)
iii. Malignant tumors.
iv. Cataracts (eye lens becomes opaque).
RADIATION SAFETY:
(Precautions to minimize radiation danger)
i. One should be at a safe distance from radio isotopes.
ii. The time for radiation exposure should be short.
iii. The radiations from nuclear reactor are shielded by the thick concrete walls.
iv. The radioactive material should be kept in lead box with the lid made of lead.
