GSCE - AQA - Physics Combined Sciences - P1: Matter - P1.1 The Particle Model

<h3>P1-1-1 Structure of an atom</h3>Plum Pudding model:In 1897 J.J. Thompson discovered the electron is much lighter than the atom, and hence realised the atom is not the smallest particle. So he proposed the Plum Pudding model:<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:400/400;" src="https://effortless-creativity-dd2bae31d9.media.strapiapp.com/P1_1a_Plum_pudding_atom_svg_99b0e23a89.png" alt="P1.1a Plum_pudding_atom.svg.png" width="400" height="400"></figure>&nbsp;The pudding is positive, and the plums in it are negative!&nbsp;JJ Thompson did not think of neutrons!&nbsp;Nuclear Model (Rutherford Model):&nbsp;In 1909 Geiger and Marsden fired some alpha particles towards a thin sheet of gold (alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons, so it has a positive charge!).Because they thought material is made of atoms that are like a plum pudding and hence it is soft like a pudding, they expected all of the alpha particles to pass through the metal sheet. But they saw some alpha particles bounce back! So their supervisor, Ernest Rutherford, said there is a positive nucleus at the centre of the atom which repels the positive alpha particles. He said electrons randomly orbit around the nucleus.&nbsp;

AS-Level - AQA - Physics - P3: Waves - P3.3 Progressive and Stationary Waves

Wave is a transfer of energy, not matter!And that is true for progressive waves! Because they actually move from one point to another. For example water wave!But stationary waves are trapped between two points and the energy only goes back and forth between those two points! For example a guitar string vibrating. Or the sound wave in a flute.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have two types of progressive waves: transverse and longitudinal&nbsp;Transverse waves: the direction of oscillation of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the energy transfer.&nbsp;Longitudinal waves: the direction of oscillation of particles is parallel to the energy transfer.&nbsp;
