Alpha Particles being Blocked by a Piece of Paper
Live demonstration of alpha particles from polonium-210 being blocked by a piece of paper.
Alpha Particles Interaction with Plastic Film
Plastic food wrap film is thinner than a piece of paper and alpha particles can pass through it. But how many layers are needed to stop the particles?
Particle Beam Collimation of Alpha Particles
The alpha particles are focused onto the center of camera using collimator and then diameter of collimator is measured using the scan result.
Determining the Energy of Alpha Particles
Determining the energy of alpha particles from polonium-210 and study how increasing distance of the source from camera effects the energy
Effect of Collimator on the Detected Energy of Alpha Particles
Collimating the beam of alpha particles to study its effect on the observed energy.
Different type of Energy Spectrum of Alpha Particles
Study of the effect of density of blocking material on the observed energy of alpha particles.
The Deceleration of Alpha Particles in Plastic Food Wrapping Foil
Studying braking force on alpha particles from polonium-210 when they pass through plastic food wrap film.
The Velocity of Alpha Particles
Determining the velocity of alpha particles with respect to velocity of light using the energy of alpha particles.
