F.Sc. Physics (Part-II) Solved Numerical Problems: P A G E P U B L I S H E R

This document contains solved numerical problems from F.Sc. Physics (Part-II). It includes 10 problems related to radioactive decay, energy released in fusion reactions, attenuation of gamma rays by lead, inverse square law of radiation, absorbed dose from alpha particles, and equivalent dose in rems. The problems provide data and calculations to determine properties of radioactive isotopes, energy values, thickness of shielding materials, radiation count rates at different distances, absorbed energy, and equivalent dose.
