Pls do these sums
Dear Student
You have not marked questions for which you want answer. Solving Question number 14 for you. Please post separately for rest.
a) Alpha radiations have least penetrating power. These can even be stopped by a sheet of paper.
b) Cobalt-60 , a radio isotope, is used as a radiation source to arrest the development of cancer. Other radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for diagnostic purposes as well as in research on metabolic processes.
c) Background radiation is a measure of the ionising radiations present in the environment at a particular location which is not due to deliberate introduction of radiation sources.

These originates from a variety of sources, both natural and artificial which include cosmic rays.
