my question is how do you determine the height of the image do you have to draw the ray diagram first to scale and then measure physically with a ruler or is there a way to mathematically do it the formula for calculating magnification of an object is M=hi/ho (magnification = height of...

Hiya. I've gotten behind in physics lately. Disturbingly so, in fact. I just can't stand how little I know, so I've recently undertaken the task of educating myself using Wikipedia, but it's terribly hard. I may have misinterpreted some things, and some things don't make much sense at all, so...

Don't think me silly, but the first question is, where do excess neutrons go? If I do a fission reaction and get protons they are just ionized hydrogen atoms, a free electron is just a negative charge to find a free proton somewhere. But since a neutron can't get back in a nucleus, where does...
