Experimental Radio Activity Set SH268
Designed for use with traditional radioactive sources, this classic piece of physics apparatus includes an aluminum extrusion bench with a graduated scale, a set of radiation absorbers, and a radiation collimator.
Exp-1 Identify and distinguish radioactive from non-radioactive materials.
Exp-2 Analyze random emission patterns.
Exp-3 Measure and compare radiation levels of different sources.
Exp-4 Test methods to lower emitted radiation intensity.
Exp-5 Calculate decay rates and half-lives of radioactive sources.
Exp-6 Assess how far alpha particles travel in air.
Exp-7 Investigate how metals absorb beta radiation.
Exp-8 Measure reduction of gamma rays through lead.
Exp-9 Study how gamma ray intensity changes with distance.
Exp-10 Map radiation emissions across different spatial points.
Exp-11 Observe beta particles’ path change in magnetic fields.
Exp-12 Analyze how beta particles scatter backward from solids.
Exp-13 Use beta radiation to measure aluminum foil thickness.
