Which of the following best explains why a photomultiplier tube is more accurate than a Geiger-Müller counte O The area of contact between the sample and the photomultiplier tube is larger than that of the Geiger- Müller counter. O The photomultiplier tube is better at amplifying the signal from the sample than the Geiger-Müller counter. O The photomultiplier tube is more sensitive to gamma radiation than the Geiger-Müller counter. The Argon gas inside the Geiger-Müller counter interferes with the signal.

Laboratory Notebook" handout. 3. A particular radioisotope emits 21,763 counts of radiation over 120 seconds with no barrier present. When a sheet of gelatin is placed between the source and the detector, 8,598 counts are recorded over the same amount of time. What is the percent change in the signal? tv SEP 22 MacBook Pro

Proton beam radiotherapy for cancer takes advantage of the fact that the rate of energydeposition increases as the protons slow down, as the inverse of the velocity. A typicaltreatment may address a cancer that lies under 150 mm of healthy tissue. 160 MeV protonswill penetrate the healthy tissue depositing little energy and doing little damage. Then theycome to a halt in the next 20 mm depositing the bulk of their energy there and doing enoughdamage to kill the cancer. If the protons lose half their kinetic energy in the cancer, and asufficient dose is three Grays, calculate:i) The required power incident on the cancer to perform the treatment of a 20 mm cancerin five minutes
When radiation interacts with mater, the depth of penetration depends on the nature of the radiation, the density of the material, and the speed of the radioactive particle when it enters the material. In general, with all other parameters being equal, a denser material will permit a shorter distance of penetration. Arrange the materials below from most to least penetration by β particles. Assume a constant distance between the source and the material. (a) Plastic (b) Copper (c) Cotton (d) Alcohol (e) Lead

Just convert dpm into dps, and microCi into dps, then use the t equation to solve for t in years, do not convert t1/2 into seconds.
