A geiger-muller tube is a type of
gas-filled radiation detector. It can
detect particles like X-rays, alpha
particles and beta rays (electrons).
This is useful in quantizing the
activity of a radioactive source or
determining if an area containing
radioactive material is safe to
enter. Assuming that you have
one mole of gas, if a geiger
counter is filled with 9502 Pa of
argon gas at room temperature (T
= 21.1 C), what is the density of
the gas in this geiger tube?
Weight of the ozone layer
1.0p 1 Incredibly, the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere that protects us from the ultraviolet rays of the Sun
varies somewhat but, on the average, would be less than one centimeter thick if it were brought down to
sea level. Given that the density of ozone at sea level would be about 2.0 grams per litre, what is the total
amount of ozone (in Tonnes) in the upper atmosphere when its sea-level thickness is 0.22 cm? Take the
radius of the Earth to be 6400 km.
(The volume of a thin skin around an object is the surface area of the object times the skin thickness.) Give
