(a) Explain the features of the spectra of alpha, beta and gamma
radiation.
(b) Why does alpha/beta spectroscopy have to be conducted in an
environment different from that for gamma spectroscopy?
Describe how a plane mirror works. Is the image you see real or
virtual and why. Does the mirror image appear closer or farther
than the actual object. How can you prove that?
1) For a concave mirror at what object distance does the
associated image transition between upright and inverted?
2) As the object distance increases through the distance you
answered in part one does the image transition from upright to
inverted or from inverted to upright?
3) For object distances slightly less than the distance you
answered in part one is the image location near or far from the
mirror and is it in front of or behind the mirror?

Why
is including the mirror-image plume important in the Gaussian
dispersion equation? Now suppose z = 4H. How much does including
the mirror-image plume affect the final downwind concentration at
this height?
