Suppose a particle of ionizing radiation deposits 1.0 MeV in the gas of a Geiger tube, all of which goes to creating ion pairs. Each ion pair requires 30.0 eV of energy. (a) The applied voltage sweeps the ions out of the gas in 1.00 (s. What is the current? (b) This current is smaller than the actual current since the applied voltage in the Geiger tube accelerates the separated ions, which then create ether ion pairs in subsequent collisions. What is the current if this last effect multiplies the number of ion pairs by 900?
The atomic weight of cadmium is 112.41, and its density is 8.65 g/cm3. Using Figure 14.3, estimate the attenuation distance of a thermal neutron beam in cadmium. (The attenuation distance is the distance traveled after which the intensity of the beam is reduced to 1/e of its initial value, where e is the base of the natural logarithms.)
