Gases • Absolute zero = -273 ºC, 0 ºC = 273 K
• Increasing the temperature of a gas increases the speed of its particles
• The average kinetic energy of its particles is proportional to the temperature of a gas in Kelvin

Gases • Gas pressure is caused by particles
colliding with the container wall
• The faster the particles (the higher the temperature) the greater the pressure
• In all situations:
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

Atoms and nuclei• Nuclei contain protons and neutrons
• Neutrons are difficult to detect because the have no charge
• As a result of β- or β+ decay nuclei often undergo rearrangement with a loss of energy as gamma radiation
• In nuclear equations:– Mass is conserved (top number)– Charge is conserved (bottom number)

Fundamental and other Particles• Fundamental particles are not made up of
other, smaller particles eg:– Electron– Positron (anti-electron)– Quark– Netrinos – Muons
• A positron has the same mass as an electron and all other properties are opposite ie charge = +1
![Page 8: P3 Exam Preparation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815b1c550346895dc8d091/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Scientists are creating fundamental particles, such as anti-matter, in particles accelerators which smash particles into each other providing enough energy for the fundamental particles can exist on their own
• These project are normally international collaborative projects due to the cost
• The proton and neutron are not fundamental particles because they are made up of quarks

Beta Decay and Quarks• β- decay involves a down quark changing into
an up quark
(one neutron becomes a proton and an electron)
• β+ decay involves one up quark changing into a down quark
(a proton becomes a neutron and a positron)

Electrons and Electron Beams• Thermionic emission is when charged
particles are emitted ‘boiled off’ a filament due to thermal energy
• Uses of electron beams include:– TV picture tubes– computer monitors– oscilloscopes– the production of X-rays

Beam Deflection• An electron beam, or a stream of charged
particles (for example ink drops), can be deflected by the electric field between parallel charged metal plates
• The amount of deflection increases when:– Mass of particle is decreased– The time in the field is increased
• Larger plates• Slow particle

Methods of ‘seeing’ inside the body
• Refraction of a wave, is the change in direction (or bending) caused by the change in speed of the wave
• This usually due to a change in density of medium

Radiation
• Radiation is the spreading out of energy– Light (EM Spectrum)– Radioactive radiation (Alpha & Beta particles)– Sound
![Page 19: P3 Exam Preparation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815b1c550346895dc8d091/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Radiation• Medical applications of radiation:
– Reflection• X-rays – bones may reflect the x-rays• Ultrasound scan (echocardiogram)
– Total internal reflection• Endoscopes (Keyhole surgery, colonoscopy)
– Absorption• Pulse oximetry• X-rays – bones may absorb the x-rays• Radiotherapy
Remember the light is absorbed by the mediumnot the other way round

Energy and the body• Work done is equal to energy transferred
• work done = force × distance(moved in the direction of the force)
W = F × s
• power = work done / time takenP = W / t
• basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimum amount of energy required to stay alive

Electricity in the body• frequency = 1 / time period
f = 1 / T
• Action potentials can be measured with an Electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor heart action
![Page 24: P3 Exam Preparation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815b1c550346895dc8d091/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ECG Probes• The probes are able to
measure the potential differences between the heart and the rest of the body
• This potential difference is known as the action potential and makes the heart muscles contract

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
• Radioactive tracer is injected into blood
• Tracer emits positron
• Positron annihilates an electron
• Emits a pair of gamma rays in opposite directions
• Gamma rays are detected by an array of gamma cameras
• 3D map of body is created showing where the tracer accumulated

• Ionising radiation may cause: – Tissue damage– Mutations
• The larger the dose of radiation the bigger the risk
• Risk minimised by minimising the:– Intensity– Duration
of exposure

• Tumours irradiated by radiation are affected more than normal cells
• Palliative care is the treatment of the symptoms when the cause can not be cured
• Social and ethical issues of (new/newer) techniques in medical physics:– Cost of treatment– Geographical availability– Potential risks
![Page 30: P3 Exam Preparation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815b1c550346895dc8d091/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Physics theory in medical care• intensity = power of incident radiation/area
I = P/A
• Double the distance => Quarter the Intensity I α 1 / r2
r = distance from source
• Intensity depends on the nature of the medium the radiation is travelling through:
Higher density => Higher absorption => Lower Intensity of radiation

Physics theory in medical care• The bombardment of certain stable
elements with proton radiation can result in making them into radioactive isotopes that usually emit positrons
• The production of gamma rays by annihilation of electron and positron as the rest energies (E = mc2) are converted from matter into (lots of) pure energy – gamma rays

Physics theory in medical care• Annihilation of electron and positron to form
gamma rays is an example of momentum and mass energy conservation:
– Energy of gamma ray
= rest energies of particles + KE of particles
– Pairs of gamma rays are given out in opposite direction to maintain momentum
