Explanation:
Given data:
initial construction co = 0.286 wt %
concentration at surface position cs = 0 wt %
carbon concentration cx = 0.215 wt%
time = 7 hr
for 0.225% carbon concentration following formula is used
where, erf stand for error function
from the table erf(Z) value = 0.751 lie between (z) = 0.80 and z = 0.85 so by inteerpolation we have z = 0.815
from given table
x = 0.002395 mm
Solution :
The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :
And the reaction for Cadmium is :
We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.
