- In this curricular unit, the Team-based learning (TBL) methodology is used, with tasks carried out in small groups, allowing the development of the ability to analyze and apply theoretical concepts.
- Mandatory
- The objectives of the Atomic and Nuclear Physics course unit are to introduce and develop concepts of physics, at the atomic level and of the nuclear interactions that originate radiation. It is intended that students acquire knowledge regarding the atomic structure, the molecular organization of elements, the emission of X-rays and other types of electromagnetic radiation, radioactivity and the interaction of radiation with matter and that this knowledge allows for a more solid and grounded learning in the structures and interactions that originate radiation and the interactions of radiation with living organisms. In the end, the student should be able to identify situations of interdisciplinary Physics with other scientific-technological areas such as physiology and new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and apply the acquired concepts, interpret and solve situations related to the profession.
- 1. Atomic and Molecular structure. 2. Electronic structure and chemistry of the elements. 3. X-Ray emission. 4. Fundamentals of Nuclear Physics. 5. Nuclear models. 6. Radioactive decay. 7. Interaction of radiation with matter.

A componente escrita consta de duas frequências escritas e é relativa aos conteúdos teóricos. A classificação mínima em cada frequência é de 8 valores. A componente prática consta da realização de um trabalho durante as aulas. A classificação mínima no trabalho prático é de 10 valores. A classificação final é calculada a partir da seguinte fórmula: CF = 0,50 T + 0,50 PL. A classificação de todos os instrumentos de avaliação é expressa numa escala de 0 a 20 valores, sendo que o valor ponderado das classificações obtidas em cada componente tem de ser igual ou superior a 9,5 valores, para efeitos de cálculo da classificação final.

- Physics is one of the fundamental areas of science. The understanding of the phenomena that occur at the atomic and nuclear level is essential for studies in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy, since these are the basis for the techniques applied in this area. The Atomic and Nuclear Physics Course aims to provide students with the foundations that allow them to understand radiation and its origin, as well as its interaction with matter and the effects it causes.
