Answer:
At 3 meter distance, the per-second count is 222.22 and at a 10 meter distance, the per-second count is 20.
Explanation:
The number of particles (N) counts are inversely proportional to the distance between the source and the detector.
By using the below formula we can find the number of counts.
[tex]N2 = \frac{(D1)^2}{(D2)^2} \times N1 \\N1 = 2000 \\D 1 = 1 \ meter \\D2 = 3 \\[/tex]
The number of count per second, when the distance is 3 meters.
[tex]= \frac{1}{3^2} \times 2000 \\= 222.22[/tex]
Number of count per second when the distance is 10 meters.
[tex]= \frac{1}{10^2} \times 2000 \\= 20[/tex]
