The type and approximate amount of material required to stop alpha particles | a piece of paper (or the skin) |
The type and approximate amount of material required to stop beta particles | 0.5 cm sheet of lead |
The type and approximate amount of material required to stop gamma rays. | Several centimeters of lead. |
Which radioisotope is more hazerdous, 1 g of 238/92U with a half life of 4.5 billion years, or 1 g of 222/86Rn with a half life of 3 days. Explain. | 222/86Rn because more ionizing radiation is submitted over a shorter period of time. |
Whats wrong with this equation? 4/2He + 27/13AL ---> 49/15P + 1/0n | The mass numbers don't add up. |
Idoine-131 has a half life of 8 days. Approximatly what fraction of iodine-131 will remian after one month (about 31 days)? | 1/16 |
what is the final product of the uranium series? | Stable, nonradiactive isotope of lead-206 |

131/53L ----> 131/54Xe + ____ | 131/53L ----> 131/54Xe + 0/-1e |
What are transuranium elements? | An artifical element with an atomic number greater than 92. |
What is the reason for irradiating food with gamma rays? What is the effect of radiation? | Reduces food spoilage, longer shelf life. |
Desceribe what effect gamma rays from cobalt-60 have on cancer cells and why this makes them useful in radiation therapy for cancer. | gamma rays can damage the DNA sequence needed for duplication of the genetic code in the rapidly mulitplying cancer cells that duplicate more often than normal cells |
which source of background radiation contributes more to a persons annual dose, weapons test fallout or natrual radiation in food, water and air? | natrual radiation in food, water, and air. |
Name three problems that are associated with nuclear energy from fission | catastrophic acciden and relaease of radioactive material, plutonium proudcion, dosposal of radioactive wastes |
