Radioactivity

The video tutorial explores the discovery of radioactivity by Becquerel in 1896, detailing the types of radioactive decay: alpha, beta, and gamma. It explains the law of radioactive decay, including concepts like decay constant, half-life, and mean life. The tutorial further delves into the specifics of alpha, beta, and gamma decay, highlighting their characteristics, processes, and implications in nuclear physics.

Explain the concept of mean life in radioactive decay.

What is the Q value in the context of alpha decay?

How do neutrinos behave in relation to electric fields and why is this significant?

Discuss the role of gamma rays in radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
