had a think, could the answer possibly be 0?
gamma is not paticles, its waves.
beta is blocked by 1.5 cm of skull, so would be blocked, therefor not goin through
alpha wouldn't pass through skin
just a thought
as it is an estimation I've decided its probably of the average atmospheric content of radiation, does anyone know what this is? and is there anyway of finding the number as particles per cm cube or litre, and how many particles would travel through in a given time
Have been set a rather tricky question in physics, and wondered if you had any ideas on how I would go about answering it...
It is based on Fermi style estimation to try and encourage one to estimate and guess, the question is... 'How many particles of ionising radiation pass through your head...
