  QUESTION n.1

  "Which of the following devices converts radioactive emissions to light for detection?"

  MY HINT IS :"E. radiotracer"

  QUESTION n.2

  "Which of the following correctly represents the tranmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle to produce a californium-245 nucleus?"

  MY HINT IS :"A. (242/96)Cm (4/2He, 1/0n) 245/98Cf"

  You have to verify

  ATOMIC MASS SUM :"242 + 4 = 1 + 245"

  ATOMIC NUMBER SUM :"96 + 2 = 96 + 0"

  QUESTION n.3

  "The nuclear disintegration series of_______is the source of radon-222 in the soil."

  MY HINT IS :"B. 238-U"

  YOU HAVE TO EXECUTE ONE Alpha-Decay

  (238/92)U (--, 4/2 He) (234/90)Th

  FOLLOWED BY Beta-Decay

  (234/90)Th (--, 1/-1e) (234/91)Pa

  AND YOU CONTINUE BY OTHER THREE TIMEs DESCENDING TO RADON (222/86)Rn.

  QUESTION n.4

  "In the nuclear transmutation represented by 239/94 Pu (4/2 He, 1/0 n) what is the product?"

  MY HINT IS :"C. curium-242"

  You have to verify

  ATOMIC MASS SUM :"239 + 4 = 1 + 242"

  ATOMIC NUMBER SUM :"94 + 2 = 96 + 0"

  I hope this helps you.

• C. a scintillation counter measures ionizing radiation through the use of an intermediate scintillator (solid or liquid) which generates photons of light in response to incident radiation.
