4.6 The Earth and Universe
Explain that theories for the origin of the universe must take
into account that:
- light from other galaxies is shifted
to the red end of the spectrum
- the
further away galaxies are, the greater the red
shift
Recognise that one way of
explaining this is that:
- other galaxies are moving away from us very
quickly
- galaxies furthest from us are
moving fastest
Explain how knowledge
of the rate of expansion of the universe enables its age to be
estimated.Explain that there are possible futures for the universe
depending on the amount of mass in the universe and the speed at which
the galaxies are moving apart. Interpret given information about
developments in ideas on the origin of the Universe.

P3 Topic 5:
Particles in Action
Particles
range in size from quarks in nucleons to molecules in gases
and other forms of matter. An understanding of the behaviour of
these particles can help scientists explain phenomena
ranging from the sub-nuclear scale to the macroscopic
scale. This topic may be used to show that scientific
ideas, such as particle models, change over time and that
today there are some questions that scientists cannot answer at
the moment such as - 'is a quark made from smaller
particles?'
Is there
anything smaller than protons, neutrons and
electrons?
Is anti-matter real, or just science
fiction?Why do some scientists spend their lives on an
experiment consisting of 27km of empty space?
P3 Topic 6: Medical
Physics
This unit enables students to
study how applications of physics in medical science can be
used for non-invasive investigations of medical conditions,
including the use of positron emission tomography (PET).
The use of radiation treatments by hospital physicists to
destroy some types of malignant growths is also
studied.
How can you 'see'
things inside the human body?
The bombardment of
certain stable elements with proton radiation to make them
into radioactive isotopes that usually emit
positrons.
What happens when a positron meets with
an electron (they annihilate each other with the production
of gamma rays).
Examples of the use of positron
emission tomography (PET) scanning. |
