Quick answer: Atoms have discrete energy levels, so they emit and absorb photons of fixed energy equal to the gap between levels. This AP Physics 2 quiz checks nuclear decay with 10 multiple-choice questions and instant feedback; every answer comes with a short explanation.
This nuclear decay quiz for AP Physics 2 has quick multiple-choice questions with instant feedback. Need a refresher first? Read the lesson or do the worksheet on nuclear decay.
Choose the best answer. Typical traps are forgetting that the sign of level energies is negative, confusing mass number with atomic number and halving the wrong way.
