Calculate the canonical ensemble partition function for a collection of INDEPENDENT and NON-INTERACTING harmonic oscillators. Assume the energy spacing between adjacent states in an oscillator is LARGE compared to kT. Calculate in detail; do not skip steps and state all assumptions/approximations.
The reaction represented by the description "An atom of lead-210 decays by emission of an alpha particle" is: Question 3 The reaction represented by the description "An atom of copper-66 decays by beta emission" is Question 4 The reaction represented by the description "An atom of titanium-45 decays by positron emi
There is Chlorine 35, chlorine 36, and chlorine 37. Cl 35 and Cl 37 are stable. Why would Cl 36 be less stable than either of the two isotopes and how would you predict the product of decay for Cl 36?
A radioactive source in the form of a metal sphere of diameter 10^−3m emits beta particles at a constant rate of 6.25 x 10^10 particles per second. If the source is electrically insulated, how long will it take for its potential to rise by 1 volt, assuming that 80% of emitted beta particles escape from the surface.
