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.

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...
Actual Meaning of Battery and EMF
Battery and EMF :- What is battery? What is EMF? Let's have some feeling of these two! A battery is a device which maintains a potential difference between its two terminals A and B. Some " internal mechanism" exerts forces on the charges of the battery material (chemical of the battery). This force drives the postive charges of the battery towards A and the negative charges towards B. The force on a positive charge q is shown as Fb. As positive charges accumulate on A and negative charges on B, a potential difference develops and grows between A and B. An electric field E is developed from A to B and exerts a force Fe= qE on a charge q.The direction of this force is opposite to that of Fb. In steady state, Fb=Fe and so no further accumulation of charge takes place. If a charge q is taken from the terminal B to A , the work done by the battery force Fb is W=Fb(d) where d is the distance between A and B. This work per unit c...
