Nuclear physics
Nuclear physics is the branch of physics that deals with isolated nuclei of atoms. Or it is the study of nuclei and particles within the nuclei like protons and neutrons. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the types of nuclear reactions which are the major findings of nuclear physics.
In this topic we will learn in detail about the following topics related to nuclear physics:
Nuclear fission
Nuclear fusion
Difference between nuclear fission and fusion
Types of radioisotopes
Difference between mass defect and binding energy
Nuclear reactor
Fundamental forces of nature
Types of radiations
Properties of alpha ,beta and gamma rays
Difference between natural and artificial radioactivity
Half life of radioactive elements
