Cancer treatment by Chemotherapy
We don’t need to cover chemotherapy as part of the Standard Grade Phyics course but I thought you might be interested in how it works, now that we have looked at the use of Radiotherapy. The attached pdf file contains some notes on chemotherapy taken from the CancerHelp UK website.
S4 – laser eye correction
We’ve been looking at the various uses for lasers in surgey, including the correction of eyesight. I found this site that shows how one company does this in their clinic. The animation does a pretty good job of explaining the procedure.
Welcome back!
I hope that you enjoyed your summer break and are ready to get back to work in the Physics lab. For those of you already thinking about the October holidays, I thought I might suggest Butlins. They are running an interesting holiday idea with some Physics thrown in for free.
line spectra websites
I found a couple of websites to help you revise the emission and absorption of specific colours of light by different elements.
There is an interactive challenge to see if you can work out which elements are present in different stars.
Another test on line spectra here.
