Inverse Square Law II - Video Lesson

In this video, we'll be going over more advanced word problems involving the inverse square law. A rat tech was standing four feet away from a radiation source. While helping in a procedure. Through the use of a pocket dosimeter, she discovered that she was receiving sixteen miller rank in an hour of radiation. Halfway through the procedure, she decided to move, which helped decrease her radiation exposures to six miller rankings an hour. What was the RadTech's distance from the radiation source after she moved? As mentioned in the past video, The first step in doing these types of word problems is to write out each parameter of the inverse square law equation from the problem. After we have pulled the parameters from the word problem, we show that intensity one is sixteen milliseconds an hour. Intensity two is six at Miller rankings an hour. Distence one is four feet, and distance two is x.
