as the amount of radiation received is proportional to 1/d^2

2m from source


for 1m readings are 50 count per minute


for 2m =   50 / (2)^2

                   50 / 4   =  12.5 count per minute

Answer:

12.5counts/min

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the radiation from a point source follows an inverse-square law wherein the quantity of radiation is proportional to 1/d², where d is distance. Therefore, 2 m away from the source, the counts will be:

Counts/min=\frac{50counts/min}{2^2} =12.5counts/min

Best regards.

Hey I need help with this element, compound, and mixtures worksheet
Alika [10]

We should describe a little bit the legend.

A - Element - we should have circles with same color and not bonded together (argon gas).

B - Compound - here we may have circles with same or different color bonded together (water or oxygen which is a diatomic molecule).

C - Mixture of elements - circles with different colors not not bonded together (mixture of noble gases).

D - Mixture of compounds - circles with same or different color bonded together but we should see two or more types of connectivity between circles (mixture of water and ethanol).

E - Mixture of elements and compounds - circles with same or different color bonded together mixed with circles with same color and not bonded together (a mixture between oxygen which is a diatomic molecule and noble gas like argon).

Now we may answer the question:

1) B

2) C

3) D

4) D

5) A
