Question
Which type of radiation is the most penctrating? What do you know about the nuclear emission to explain this? Which type of radiation is the least penctrating? What do you know about the nuclear emission to explain this? What generalization can you make about the effect of the thickness of the shielding material on the count rate? What generalization can you make about the effect of the density of the shielding material on the count rate? Why is there a difference in the penctrating ability of the three basic radiation types?Explanation / Answer
Q1
Gamma radiation is most penetrating.when we place a sheet of aluminium in the way of gamma ray it's count rate decreases very fast compare to others
Q2
Alpha radiation is least penetrating.
Q3
Count rate is inversely proportional to thickness. Higher the thickness lower the club rate.
Q4
Count rate is inversely proportional to density of shielding material.
Q5
This difference is due to size of partical in radiation and energy of radiation.
