Chapter 8, Problem 24E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between exposure of human body to external and internal sources of radioactivity is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The nuclei that are heavy and unstable, undergo the process of decay and lose their counter parts in order to gain stability. This process is known as radioactive decay or radioactivity.

Radioactive decay involves the emission of three types of radiations known as alpha, beta and gamma radiations.

There is an instrument in Johnson 334 that measures total-reflectance x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) to do elemental analysis (i.e., determine what elements are present in a sample). A researcher is preparing a to measure calcium content in a series of well water samples by TXRF with an internal standard of vanadium (atomic symbol: V). She has prepared a series of standard solutions to ensure a linear instrument response over the expected Ca concentration range of 40-80 ppm. The concentrations of Ca and V (ppm) and the instrument response (peak area, arbitrary units) are shown below. Also included is a sample spectrum. Equation 1 describes the response factor, K, relating the analyte signal (SA) and the standard signal (SIS) to their respective concentrations (CA and CIS).   Ca, ppm V, ppm SCa, arb. units SV, arb. units 20.0 10.0 14375.11 14261.02 40.0 10.0 36182.15 17997.10 60.0 10.0 39275.74 12988.01 80.0 10.0 57530.75 14268.54 100.0…
