Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front activity
    Back the rate of decay for radioactive nuclides
  • Front alpha rays
    Back one of the types of rays emitted from the nucleus of an atom
  • Front Anger camera
    Back a common medical imaging device that uses a scintillator connected to a series of photomultipliers
  • Front barrier penetration
    Back quantum mechanical effect whereby a particle has a nonzero probability to cross through a potential energy barrier despite not having sufficient energy to pass over the barrier; also called quantum mechanical tunneling
  • Front baryons
    Back hadrons that always decay to another baryon

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 31, 32, 33 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
