Using John Sharkey’s Virtual Animations I complete the Half Life of Protactinium 234. The sound needs to be turned down after the first 60 s
This is the draft copy of the Half Life Experiment until I can take out all the noise. I might redo it a third time!
The first one is from the Flash Animations
This one below is from the Int 2 Virtual Physics. No sound, but a few notifications for Teams!
I hope that I am not breaking any rules, but these great resources no longer appear to be online. Can’t believe they are 20 years old!
The first photos show the background count rate, a reading of counts taken over a 1 minute period. The source is then taken out at 9:00 am and a count taken between 9:00 and 9:01, readings are then taken every 15 mins.
