Answer:

Paper will not stop any radiation.

Copper will stop beta radiation.

Lead will damp the gamma radiation

Explanation:

A Geiger counter is an instrument used to measure the radiation level. There are majorly three types of radiation: Alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha radiations have least energy and gamma radiation have the highest energy. Alpha radiation can be stopped even by a sheet of paper. Beta radiation can be stopped using a sheet of aluminum or copper. To stop the gamma radiation you need lead. Also, the energy of the gamma radiation and thickness of the lead shield will decide how much of the gamma radiation is stopped by the lead sheet.

In the given scenario, when only paper is used neither beta nor gamma radiation will be stopped and Geiger counter will show you the high radiation level. When the source is lined with copper and lead, beta radiation will be stopped and gamma radiation will be damped. So Geiger counter will show reduced level of radiation.

B)

If it is known that the atomic number is 8, we know that the electrons are also 8. Since the atomic mass (O18) is 18, the neutrons are 18-8=10. Option B is the correct answer.

What material is most commonly used to make a photovoltaic solar cell?
zaharov [31]

Solar cells can be classified into first, second and third generation cells. The first generation cells—also called conventional, traditional or wafer-based cells—are made of crystalline silicon, the commercially predominant PV technology, that includes materials such as polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon.
