Basic Radiation Physics I

Course Description
This course provides an introductory overview of the basic principles of radiation physics. It introduces learners to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, atomic and nuclear structure, nuclides including isotopes, isobars, and isotones, as well as nuclear and electron binding energy. The course also covers key radiation processes and interactions, including different types of radioactive decay, ionization, Bremsstrahlung, Auger effect, electron capture, internal conversion, and excitation. It is designed as a foundational course for learners who require a basic understanding of radiation concepts before progressing to more specialized topics in radiation protection, safety, and regulatory applications

Course Level
