Radiation from a point source follows an inverse-square law where the amount of radiation received is proportional
Question:
Radiation from a point source follows an inverse-square law where the amount of radiation received is proportional to 1/d2, where d is distance. If a Geiger counter that is 1 meter away from a small source reads 100 counts per minute, what will be its reading 2 meters from the source? 3 meters from it?
