MIT 22.01: Introduction To Nuclear Engineering And Ionizing Radiation

Lecture 1: Radiation History to the Present - Understanding the Discovery of the Neutron (2016x1)

Exibido em:: Set 06, 2016

A brief summary of the discovery of forms of ionizing radiation up to the 1932 discovery of the neutron. We introduce mass-energy equivalence for the first time and explain how these cutting-edge experiments (for their time) conclusively proved the existence of high-energy, ionizing radiation.
