A particle of ionizing radiation creates 4,600 ion pairs in the gas inside a Geiger tube as it passes through. What minimum energy (in J) was deposited, if 21.0 eV is required to create each ion pair? If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase (in K), assuming 55.0 cm3 of ideal gas at 0.300 atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale. Assume the initial temperature of the gas is 293 K.)
A point source emitting 2.1×1012 gamma-rays per second is located at the center of an ironsphere of radius 10 cm. The gamma-rays have an energy of 1.0 MeV. What is the uncollidedgamma-ray flux in cm-2-s-1 at a distance 20 cm from the source, assuming the sphere issurrounded by a vacuum?
A Van de Graaff generator produces a beam of 2.00-MeV deuterons, which are heavy hydrogen nuclei containing a proton and a neutron.

Using the given charge-to-mass ratios for electrons andprotons, and knowing the magnitudes of their charges areequal, what is the ratio of the proton’s mass to the electron’s?(Note that since the charge-to-mass ratios are given to onlythree-digit accuracy, your answer may differ from theaccepted ratio in the fourth digit.)

Linear attenuation coefficients for copperand aluminium are ?1 = 0,32 cm –1, and ?2 = 0,15 cm –1, respectively.
