Main problem: Which mathematical functions are well suited to describe different aspects of ionizing radiation?- Geometric calculation and linear equations are well suited to handle ionizing radiation.
Y=b*ax
Sub problems:How are the ranges of the three kinds of radioactive radiation different?- Alfa has a very short range, that gets blocked by paper- Beta has a bit longer range than Alfa, and it can be blocked by a 3mm aluminum plate.- Gamma has a very long range and it takes a lot to stop the waves the gamma source radiates
How can the range of values for gamma radiation in lead be described mathematically?- 6,556mm of lead half’s the radiation level of Gamma radiation
How can this description be used in calculations concerning shielding from harmful radiation?- ½ =6,556mm
How does the intensity of radiation from a radioactive source decrease as the distance between the source and the detector increases?- The radioactivity level decreases as the distance increases because, as the distance gets larger the nucleons spreads over a larger area. This means that the chances of them going in to the GM tube.
The Range of Radioactive Radiation
Introduction:
Radicals are atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons or an open shell configuration. Free radicals may have positive, negative, or zero charge. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons cause radicals to be highly chemically reactive.
