![]() After which there is a look at W and Z Bosons then a conclusion. You then look at strong interactions between particles, this also looks at types of decay (beta) then you look at weak interactions. So a knowledge of adding up fractions comes in useful (as chargers are expressed as fractions)Īfter which you move on to High energy reactions, and learn about the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, again there is an activity to have a go at as part of this. There is an interactive activity at this point which asks you to work out the charge range of different hadrons by randomly selecting different quarks, e.g uud, udc, uds for example. The course then moves on to discuss leptons which are part of the standard model of particle physics so there for discusses electrons, neutrinos, tau and muons in more details and how these are related.Īfter this, you look at Quarks and Hadrons, which are the fundamental particles that make up Protons and Neutrons of which there are 6 different types, along side their anti-matter counterparts, you then look at what makes up these matter and anti matter particles, with a closer look at Hadrons, anti-Baryons and Mesons, along with their respective charge levels. ![]() The course starts off with introduction with mentions of particles such as electrons, photons, electron Neutrinos. This course goes one step beyond that and looks at the particles and forces that make up these fundamental particle. You should be familiar with the idea of Protons, Neutrons and electrons in the context of atomic structure. In which case the course is not too complex, however you need to go in to this with an open mind. This particular course is part of the newer OU courses on Science and Physics. If you have followed other Open University courses such as How the Universe works (S197), then you will be familiar with some of the material. I have now completed the 5 hour Particle Physics course which is part of the OpenLearn. This has been sent to our editorial team for it to be reviewed. OpenLearn Moderator - 2 November 2020 3:19pm Is there a different way to report problems such as this, rather than via the forum ? Thank you for presenting a really useful course however. Particle phyiscs is a good self contained course for this, so really useful. I think I am ok with the ideas of this anyway, partly as I have studied How the universe works, and other related courses. ![]() Hi, just working through the course now, I am on section 4 there is a link to a fruit machine game, which the link is provided, however this gives me another page with coding error on. Gain an understanding of the various fields of Physics, including the study of forces, energy, light, magnetism, relativity, and more.-Old style comments (this format for comments is no longer supported but is still displayed for reference).Analyze how scientific measurement and math tools assist in the study of Physics.Learn the steps in the scientific method, and how it can be applied to the discipline of Physics.Discover the scope of Physics and how the interactions in the natural world can be observed and studied.Textbook: Physics Concepts - Intermediate (CK-12 ) ![]() Students learn Physics is more than numbers and equations it is about asking how and why things work and questioning everything we see in the natural world. Using the scientific method, physicists hypothesize relationships, design experiments, and complete tests to turn those hypotheses into theories. This course introduces students to the basic concepts behind Physics, the branch of science that primarily studies matter, energy, and their interactions. ![]()
