For, I = 806 CPM , radiation intensity = 30.94 %.
then when radiation intensity = 100%, I = 806*100/30.94 = 2605.6 CPM.
** when radiation intensity = 15.62%, I = 15.62*2605.6 / 100 = 406.99 CPM = 407 CPM.
For, 99% blocking of gamma radiation, Io = 100% intensity = 2605.6 CPM.
and I =(100-99)% = 1% intensity = 2605.6 * 0.01 = 26.056 CPM.
From previous calculation, we got penetration factor = = 1.076 cm-1.
so, ln (I/Io) = - *D, where D = thickness of lead plate for 9% radiation blocking.
or, ln (26.056 CPM / 2605.6 CPM) = - 1.076 cm-1 * D cm
or, D = ln (0.01) / (-1.076) = 4.28 cm..
The thickness of plate needed to block 99% of radiation = 4.28 cm.
how do i find the amount of lead needed to block 99% of the gamma radiation...
Gamma-rays (Y-rays) are highly energetic electromagnetic radiation that are emitted when the nuclei undergo transitions in the energy levels. The energy of the y-rays is upward of 100 keV. Due to the high energy, the rays are not appreciably absorbed by even several centimeters of materials such as concrete or wood. However, dense metals such lead, are effective Y-ray absorbers. The amount y-rays that are absorbed depends on the material and the energy of the gamma-rays, the higher the energy,...
From the provided data I found the wavelength was 28.6 cm. Considering the length is 14. half a wave is 14.3cm. I dont know how to get the formula for the transmitted radiation. Please show the full working as to how you got to the formula. and how you got to plate thickness. Part B Adnced Problem 43 The microwaves experiment in the second year laboratory uses a microwave source with a frequency o = 10.5 GHz. As part of...
