1 Radiation and the Universe D questions Name: Q1.(a) The names of three types of radiation are given in List A. Some properties of these three types of radiation are given in List B. Draw one line from each type of radiation in List A to its crect property in List B. List A Type of radiation alpha beta gamma List B Property of radiation will pass through paper but is stopped by thin metal has the shtest range in air will not harm human cells is very weakly ionising (3) (b) The radioactive isotope iodine-123 can be used by a doct to examine the thyroid gland of a patient. The iodine, taken as a tablet, is absbed by the thyroid gland. The gamma radiation emitted as the iodine atoms decay is detected outside the body. The doct uses an isotope emitting gamma radiation to examine the thyroid gland rather than an isotope emitting alpha beta radiation. Which one of the following gives a reason why gamma radiation is used? Tick ( ) one box. Gamma radiation will pass through the body. Gamma radiation is not deflected by a magnet. Gamma radiation has a long range in air. Page 1
2 (c) Iodine-123 has a half-life of 13 hours. Use a wd from the box to complete the sentence. all half most After 13 hours... of the iodine-123 atoms the thyroid absbed have decayed. (d) Iodine-123 and iodine-131 are two of the isotopes of iodine. Draw a ring around the crect answer to complete the sentence. The nucleus of an iodine-123 atom has the same number of electrons neutrons protons as the nucleus of an iodine-131 atom. (Total 6 marks Q2.The pie chart shows the average proptions of natural background radiation from various sources in the UK. (a) (i) Complete the following sentence. On average,... of the natural background radiation in the UK comes from radon gas. (ii) Radon gas is found inside homes. The table shows the results from measuring the level of radon gas inside four homes in one area of the UK. Home Level of radon gas in Bq per m 3 of air Mean 89 Page 2
3 One of the homes has a much higher level of radon gas than the other three homes. What should be done to give a me reliable mean f the homes in this area of the UK? Put a tick ( ) in the box next to your answer. igne the data f home number 3 measure the radon gas level in me homes in this area include data f homes from different areas of the UK (b) Each atom of radon has 86 protons and 136 neutrons. (i) How many electrons does each atom of radon have? Draw a ring around your answer (ii) How many particles are there in the nucleus of a radon atom?,draw a ring around your answer (Total 4 marks) Q3.Certain types of atom emit alpha, beta gamma radiation. The radiation is emitted from the centre of the atom. (a) What name is given to the centre of an atom?... (b) The sign below is used to warn people that a radiation source is being used in a labaty. Why is it imptant to warn people that a radiation source is being used? (c) Befe using a radiation source, a teacher asked her class whether there was any way that she could reduce the amount of radiation that the source emitted. Three students each gave an answer to the teacher. A B C Which one of the students, A, B C, is crect? Page 3
4 (d) The diagram shows the apparatus used by the teacher to demonstrate how one type of radiation is able to pass through lead. One lead sheet, 2 mm thick, was placed between the source and the detect and a count rate was taken. Extra lead sheets were added. F each extra lead sheet, a new count rate was taken and recded in the table. Number of lead sheets Count rate in counts per minute Which type of radiation was the source emitting: alpha, beta gamma? Give the reason f your answer. (2) (e) The diagram shows how a company detects any boxes left empty by an automatic filler. When an empty box passes between the beta source and the detect, a buzzer sounds. A wker then removes the box from the convey belt. Page 4
5 (i) Why would this system not wk if an alpha source were used instead of the beta source? (ii) The chart shows how the detect reading changes as boxes pass along the convey belt. Which part of the chart, K, L, M N, shows that an empty box is passing between the beta source and the detect? Give a reason f your answer (2) (Total 8 marks) Page 5
6 Q4.Nuclear power stations use the energy released from nuclear fuels to generate electricity. (a) Which substance do the majity of nuclear reacts use as fuel? Draw a ring around your answer. plutonium-239 thium-232 uranium-235 (b) Energy is released from nuclear fuels by the process of nuclear fission. Describe what happens to the nucleus of an atom during nuclear fission. (2) (c) Use wds from the box to complete each sentence. condenser gas generat react steam turbine The energy released from the nuclear fuel is used to heat water.
