At 3 meters, the radiation intensity is 62..5 milliroentgens per hour. What is the intensity at a distance of 2.5 meters

Question

what is the intensity at a distance of 2.5 meters?

 

Answer 1

Intensity follows the inverse square law, I = k/d²

• I = intensity
• d = distance
• k = a constant

 

At 3m:

     I = k/d²

     62.5 = k/3²

     62.5·3² = k

 

At 2.5 m:

     I = k/d²

     I = (62.5)(3²/2.5²) = _____?
