Topics Tested
11. Particle physics
11.1. Atoms, nuclei and radiation

understand that α-particles have discrete energies but that β-particles have a continuous range of energies because (anti)neutrinos are emitted in β-decay

23. Nuclear physics
23.2. Radioactive decay

understand the exponential nature of radioactive decay, and sketch and use the relationship x = x0e^(-λt), where x could represent activity, number of undecayed nuclei or received count rate

23. Nuclear physics
23.1. Mass defect and nuclear bindi...

calculate the energy released in nuclear reactions using E = c²Δm
