4 A teacher uses this apparatus to demonstrate radioactivity to his students. counter source (a) The teacher needs to take some safety precautions. Put one tick (v} on each row to show whether the safety precaution is needed or not. ‘Two have been done for you. 7 ee eee not touch the source with bare hands v use tongs ae wear gloves ¢ wear goggles ea students sit at least two metres away VY wear a lead apron _— store source in a lead box os2. The photograph shows an oldtcamera ens thar comae several pieces of glass. One of the pieces of glass includes a radioactive isotope, thorium-232. (a) Thorium-232 undergoes alpha decay and produces an isotope of radium, Ra. ‘Complete the equation for this decay. 232 BY 4 Th — Ra + a % 68 23 (a) Scientists use deflection in an electric field to help distinguish between different radiations. The diagram shows a beam containing several types of radiation. This beam travels in a vacuum between two charged plates. ‘Some of the radiations are deflected upwards, some are deflected downwards ‘and some are not deflected at al negatively charged plate beam of radiation peereereeeeerirreeeererirss positively charged plate Put one tick in each row to show the correct deflection for each type of radiation. ‘One has been done for you. a) Type of Deflected _Deflected radiation upwards | downwards | toe otic sed alpha v beta vo — = neutrons protrs |
