The Discovery of Neutron
The Discovery of Neutron:
If the energetic alpha-particles emitted from Polonium fell on the light elements like berrylium,boron or lithium,a neutral radiation( radiation made of uncharged particles) was produced.
Scientists thought that this new radiation could be gamma radiation but it was more powerfully penetrating than all known gamma radiations. When this radiation was passed through paraffin wax it ejected protons of very high energy (~5MeV). This observation was not in itself inconsistent with the assumed gramma ray nature of the new radiation but that interpretation of Compton scattering had a logical problem. From the energy and momentum conservation ,a gamma radiation would have to have impossibly very high energy to scatter high energy massive protons.
Ettor Majorana declared that the manner in which the radiation interacted with protons required to be a new neutral particle.
After hearing about these results, Chadwick performed a series of experiments showing that the gamma radiation hypothesis (assumed new radiation) was untenable (unacceptable).
After several similar experiments Chadwick repeated the creation of the relation using beryllium to absorb the alpha-particles.
He aimed the radiation at paraffin wax, the radiation energetically scattered some of the protons.
Chadwick measured the range of these protons and also measured how the new radiation impacted the atoms of various gases. He found that the new radiation consisted not of gamma rays but of the unchanged particles of about the mass of the protons. These newly discovered particles were named, "Neutron".
He won the Nobel prize 🏆 in 1935 for this discovery.

Quantum Tunneling
Quantum Tunneling: Penetrating the Impenetrable Barrier Quantum Tunneling: Penetrating the Impenetrable Barrier By Md Irfan | 2nd Year Physics (Hons) Presented on National Science Day – 28th February 2023 Introduction Quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature at its most fundamental level. Among its most intriguing consequences is the phenomenon of quantum tunneling —a process that defies classical intuition and permits particles to traverse energy barriers that should be insurmountable. This principle underlies a broad spectrum of physical phenomena, from nuclear fusion in stars to the operation of nanoscale devices, and has far-reaching implications in both theoretical physics and practical technology. Theoretical Foundation: Mathematical Framework Let us examine the situation of a non-relativistic particle of mass m, approaching a potential barrier of height V_0 and width a. Classically, if the energy E Potential Profile \[ V(x...
Scientificirfan Biography
Scientific Irfan – Biography Scientific Irfan is an emerging physicist, educator, and science communicator from Patna, Bihar, India. Currently pursuing his Master of Science in Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati (2024–2026), Irfan is known for his deep curiosity about the universe, innovative teaching style, and commitment to making science accessible. Early Inspiration and Education Irfan’s fascination with the cosmos began in childhood, when he would gaze at the night sky and wonder: “How do these astronomical objects exist?” and “Who created the universe?” Encouraged by a nurturing school teacher, he pursued a BSc in Physics at Patna Science College, Patna University, graduating in 2024 with distinction (CGPA: 8.2/10). He excelled in advanced topics such as Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Mathematical Physics. During this time, he conducted a research project on quantum tunneling and created award-winning ...
The Concept Of Schrodinger Equation
" The Concept Of Schrodinger Equation" In this blog,you are going to learn the following main topics on Schrodinger equation: 1. Short introduction of quantum mechanics. 2. What is Schrodinger equation? 3. Wave function: an introduction 4. Prerequisites to learn Schrodinger equation. 5. Solution of Schrodinger equation with a simple example. 6. Books to learn quantum mechanics. So let's begin with the short introduction of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics in which we study about the microscopic and non-classical behaviour of the particles like atoms, molecules and other quantum systems. The particles like an electron and photons do not generally obey Newton's laws of motion or Coulomb's law of electrostatics. You know that we use Newton's equations of motion to describe the motion of a planet around the sun,in the same approach,we use an equation called Schrodinger equation to describe the motion of quantum particles like an elect...
