Uses of Radioactivity /Radiation
• Radio activity tracers are used in medical field
and also in study of plants and animals
• Radiation is used and produced in nuclear
reactors, which controls fission reactions to
produce energy and new substances from the
fission products
• Radiation is used by nondestructive testing to
inspect materials and make measurements
• Inverse square law
Where:
= Intensity 1 at D1
I1
I2 = Intensity 2 at D2
