Background radiation from cosmic rays and radioactive nuclei in our surroundings is about 0.13 rem/year. Suppose we assume this all comes from cosmic rays which have an RBE factor of 1.0 . The RBE factor for the most dangerous types of radiation is 20 . How many rads of the most dangerous radiation could a 100-year-old person have been exposed to in her lifetime without having gone over the

recommended limit of 0.5 rem/year? a. 0.37 b. 0.50 c. 1.85 d. 13 e. 37

A muon detector on Mount Washington observes greater numbers of muons than an identical detector located at a lower elevation, for example in Boston. The number detected in Boston, however, is much greater than the number predicted when considering the elevation separation between Boston and Mount Washington, the muons' speed, and the time of the muons' half-life. Why is this so?

The muons are traveling faster than the speed of light The addition of velocities increases the muons' half-life

The muons' speeds are large enough for relativistic effects to occur The detectors must be faulty—the number predicted is classically correct
