SEK Radioactivity

Description Set of apparatus for carrying out 10 basic student experiments on radioactivity. In a robust plastic tray with foam inserts molded to the shapes of the items and a transparent lid. Includes a CD with instructions for the experiments. The experiments are designed to occupy as little space as possible on the supplied base plate, while remaining clear and easy to perform. To determine the count rates, it is recommended that a Geiger counter 1002722 be used (not included). Contents: 1 Base plate 340x250 mm 3 Work templates 1 Holder for sources and deflecting magnet 1 Deflecting magnet 1 Thorium irradiation module I (weld filler wire) 2 Aluminum plates, 0.5 mm 1 Aluminum plate, 1 mm 1 Lead plate, 2 mm, in plastic cover Includes 10 experiments on the subject of radioactivity: Determining background radiation Determining pulse rates for various radioactive preparations Statistical distribution of counter pulses Determination of equivalent dose for various radioactive preparations Penetrative capacity and range of radiation Deflection of alpha and beta radiation by a magnetic field Absorption of alpha rays Absorption of beta rays Absorption of gamma rays Inverse square law Required: 1002722 Geiger Counter 1006797 Radiation Cartridge, 226Ra, 4 kBq
