The detail that you can observe using a probe is limited by its wavelength, Calculate the energy of a particle that has a wavelength of 11016 m, small enough to detect details about one-tenth the size of a nucleon.
A particle of ionizing radiation creates 4000 ion pairs in the gas inside a Geiger tube as it passes through. What minimum energy was deposited, If 30.0 eV is required to create each ion pair?
The detail observable using a probe is limited by its wavelength. Calculate the energy of a (ray photon that has a wavelength of 11016m, small enough to detect details about one—tenth the size of a nucleon. Note that a photon having this energy is difficult to produce and interacts poorly with the nucleus, limiting the practicability of this probe.

What conservation law requires an electron’s neutrino to be produced in electron capture? Note that the electron no longer exists after it is captured by the nucleus.
Which methods of radiation protection were used in the device shown in the first photo in Figure 32.35? Which were used in the situation shown in the second photo? (a) (b) Figure 32.35 (a) This xray fluorescence machine is one of the thousands used in shoe stores to produce images offset as a check on the fit of shoes. They are unshielded and remain on as long as the test are in them, producing doses much greater titan medical images. Children were fascinated with them. These machines were used in shoe stores until laws preventing such unwarranted radiation exposure were enacted in the 1950s (credit: Andrew Kuchling ) (b) New that we know the effects of exposure to radioactive material, eatery is a priority.

The weak and strong nuclear forces are basic to the structure of matter. Why we do not experience them directly?
Integrated Concepts Suppose you are designing a proton decay experiment and you can detect 50 percent of the proton decays in a tank of water. (a) How many kilograms of water would you need to see one decay per month, assuming a lifetime of 1031 y? (b) How many cubic meters of water is this? (c) If the actual lifetime is 1033 y, how long would you have to wait on an average to see a single proton decay?
Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. 58. The particles emitted in the decay of 3H (tritium) interact with matter to create light in a glowinthedark exit sign. At the time of manufacture, such a sign contains 15.0 Ci at 3H. (a) What is the mass at the tritium? (b) What is its activity 5.00 y after manufacture?
How does the lithium deuteride in the thermonuclear bomb shown in Figure 32.33 supply tritium (3H) as well as deuterium (2H)?
The Galileo space probe was launched on its long journey past Venus and Earth in 1989, with an ultimate goal of Jupiter. Its power source is 11.0 kg of 238Pu, a by-product of nuclear weapons plutonium production. Electrical energy is generated thermoelectrically from the heat produced when the 5.59-MeV a panicles emitted in each decay crash to a halt inside the plutonium and its shielding. The half-life of 238Pu is 87.7 years. What was the original activity of the 238Pu in becquerels? What power was emitted in kilowatts? What power was emitted 12.0 y after launch? You may neglect any extra energy from daughter nuclides and any losses from escaping rays.
