1.) Nuclear decay is modeled as an exponential process, i.e thewell known equation that the number of nuclei in a radioactivebunch decreases exponentially. How does the intensity vary with thedepth of penetration in a material?
a) linearly
b)exponentially
c)it remains constant (does not vary)
2.) Which of the two decay modes, (beta or gamma) would you say hasmore penetration depth?
3.) Between alpha and beta decay, which of the two would you guessto have a more penetration depth. State reasons.
