PHY 114: General Physics Laboratory Lab 1: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation 09/04/13 Abstract Nuclear physics was practiced to find the value of tau. After 8 trials of using a G-M counter and 8 different mass thicknesses of polyethylene‚ a graph was formed and tau was calculated to be 0.1931 cm^2/g‚ an error of 3.57% from the accepted value of 0.2 cm^2/g. Experiment was also used as an intro to using basic lab equipment‚ computer programs and calculating errors. With many different
