What is Radiation Shielding and Half-Life Analysis about?
The document summarizes an experiment that tested the absorption of different types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma) by various materials and calculated the half-lives of radioactive sources. It was found that lead was the best shielding material, reducing radiation levels exponentially with increased thickness. Graphs showed radiation penetration decreasing significantly for alpha and beta radiation shielded by wood, aluminum, and lead, but gamma radiation was hardly absorbed. Half-life calculations from
