A company built five identical houses in different parts of the same country. When a radioactivity
count was carried out in each house, one of them had a much higher reading than the others.
What is most likely to cause this higher reading?
A
the Suns radioactivity
B
the time of year when the reading was taken
C
a nuclear power station ten miles away from the house
D
background radiation from rocks under the house
When dealing with radioactive substances there are possible dangers.
Which statement is correct?
A
Beta-particles can pass through skin and damage body cells.
B
Gamma-radiation is more dangerous than alpha or beta because it has a longer half-life.
C
D
26
Materials that emit only alpha-particles must be kept in thick lead containers.
Radioactive materials are safe to handle after two half-lives.

D
using a Geiger-Mller tube and counter
A radioactive source is placed 3 cm from a Geiger-Mller tube in air. The average count rate is
Then, in three experiments, measurements are taken with sheets of different materials placed
between the source and the tube. The results are recorded in the table.
A student investigates the emission from an unknown radioactive source. The source is 10 cm in
front of a detector. A strong magnetic field between the source and the detector is then switched
on.
31
The diagram shows one type of radiation passing between the poles of a strong magnet and
being detected.
32
The experimenter moves the paper between the source and the detector. There is no difference
in the count-rate. Why is this?
A
Paper does not absorb alpha-particles.
B
The count-rate due to the background radiation is too high.
C
The radioactive source is too far from the detector.
D
The source emits beta-particles and alpha-particles.

magnets as shown below. Which of the following are true?
1 The induced current in the conducting rod flows out of the paper.

insulating rod.
3 The conducting rod will be attracted to the magnets.
