Particles and the photoelectric effect

Included in these notes are a summary of protons neutrons and electrons and a definition for the specific charge of a particle. There is also an explanation for how the different forces in the nucleus ensure that it remains stable and how if these forces were affected the nucleus may become unstable which leads to decay (alpha, beta, and gamma are all explained). There is also a detailed description of how light can exist in small packets known as photons. The difference between a particle and ...
