2. The intensity of radioactivity depends on the distance of the recipient from the source of radiation and follows an inverse square law. Suppose an object receives 1,230 millirem of radiation when it is 10 m from the source, calculate the distance if the object is now exposed to 350 millirem.
Construct Your Own Problem Consider the decay of radioactive substances in the Earth's interior. The energy emitted is converted to thermal energy that reaches the earth's surface and is radiated away into cold dark space. Construct a problem in which you estimate the activity in a cubic meter of earth rock? And then calculate the power generated. Calculate how much power must cross each square meter of the Earth’s surface if the power is dissipated at the same rate as it is generated. Among the things to consider are the activity per cubic meter, the energy per decay, and the size of the Earth.
