WebYou will use an on-line simulation from the University of Colorado PhET group to study alpha decay Link to the simulation: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/alpha-decay Explore the interface! You can Pause the simulation and then use Step to incrementally analyze. After the Polonium nucleus decays to Lead, click Reset WebAlpha, Beta and Gamma decay simulations by PhET are always useful: Watch alpha particles escape from a polonium nucleus, causing radioactive alpha decay. See how random decay times relate to the half-life. Explain what happens in alpha radiation. Predict what happens to an element when it undergoes alpha decay.

WebOpen/Run Alpha Decay at. Take 5 minutes to freely explore the sim. Write all answers on your own paper. Investigating Alpha Decay 1. Start on the SINGLE ATOMtab. Observe the decay of Polonium-211. After each decay, press the RESET NUCLEUS button to watch the process again.Write a description of alpha decay for Po-211. Web2) Click the Pause button immediately after a decay so you can look at the particle that comes flying out of the nucleus. What is this particle made of? 3) Why does the mass number change from 211 to 207 after a decay? 4) Why does the Polonium (Po) become Lead (Pb) after a decay? (You may have to look at a Periodic Table to determine this) 5 ... command aclocal not found please install it

WebI am doing a phet lab simulation and one of the questions asks me to define half-life in my own words for/based on alpha decay. Later in the lab I am asked in my own words to … WebAug 18, 2016 · PhET Simulation: Alpha Decay. This resource simulates the process of alpha decay, a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. A … WebAug 18, 2016 · This student hand-out was created specifically to accompany the PhET simulation "Alpha Decay". Appropriate for grades 8-12, it provides guided directions to help students understand the random nature of decay of a radioactive substance (Polonium-211). As they watch the alpha particle eject from the nucleus, they can see the "parent" decay … command acceptance exception
