    Experiment (3) Inverse Square Law

    Uploaded by

    حسين عمري
    This experiment aimed to validate the inverse square law using a scintillation detector. The main equipment included a scintillation detector connected to a power supply, preamplifier, amplifier, and computer. The procedure involved placing a Cs-137 source near the detector at different distances and measuring the registered counts. The results showed that as distance increased, counts decreased quadratically in line with the inverse square law relationship of intensity being inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This validated that the intensity of radiation particles follows the inverse square law relative to the source-detector distance.

    Experiment (3): Inverse square law

    Student: huassain salh alomary ID: 126682 Date: 5\11\2020

    1. Objectives
    Based on your understanding, describe the objectives of this experiment.

    As we took in relation lab one about the inverse square law we are going to take the
    same approach with the same law but different detector Which is the scintillation
    detector and we are going to validate the inverse square law.

    I= where:
    A°
    N ° =¿Total number of photons per unit time
    A° =¿Total area of the sphere .

    2. Equipment
    Describe the main equipment, their function, and how they interconnect with each other.

    Source type Cs-137
    Half-life 30.17 year
    Initial activity 1μci
    Production date Jul-09

    3. Procedure
    Write down the steps that you have made to fulfill the experiment.

    At first, we connect these scintillation detectors with power supply with 7000 thousand
    voltage output and we make sure that the output of the scintillator tube (which is the
    preamplifier) is connected to the input of the amplifier and the output of the amplifier is
    connected to the input of the SCA to remove noise and we connect to computer using
    Gene 2000 And we set up the program then we Place the source near the scintillations
    detector and wait for the count and wait sometime , the next thing we changing distance
    multiple times .

    4. Results and discussion


    Fill the obtained data in tables, draw any necessary graphs, and discuss your results.

    5. Conclusion
    Write down the main conclusions gained from this experiment.
    The law that governs the relation between the intensity of radiation particles detected
    and the distance between the source and tube –the relation- is called the inverse square
    law.
    As r increases, the count rate decreases quadratically. So the relationship between I and
    1/r2 is linearly direct proportion.
