I have an essay on radioactive decay, here is the title 'Explore the nature of radioactive decay and Discuss it's applications'



Does anyone know any good reference material for this kind of thing?
Equivilence of mass and energy
Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Nuclear power
Med Physics
Carbon Dating
Any other Applications



Any Help would be much appreciated, thanks :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
nah, it's not actually for a physics course, i made the question myself. its for a module of my science access course called 'study skills' where i have to do a 3k word essay so there's no reading list unfortunately :(
 
Well in that case may I suggest looking for a physics book. Most high school level books should have information on all the points you mentioned. There should be plenty available in local or school libraries.
 
ok cool, thanks :)
