Question 11

Radioactive decay loses its potency in a couple of ways:

Answer 11

Increasing Distance
Shielding
Time Reduction

sheel-ding

shielding

Question 12

The intensity of radiation decreases with the square of the distance

Answer 12

Increasing Distance

Question 13

Shielding

Answer 13

Using materials like lead, concrete, or water to absorb or block radiation.

Question 14

Time Reduction

Answer 14

Minimizing the time of exposure to radiation reduces the total dose received.
