Random nature of radioactive decay
Experiment no.: 10.2.3
The random nature of radioactive decay is shown in this experiment. The experiment can be shwon with the natural background radiation or with a block of uranium as radioactive source.
Caution: Radioactive radiation (if wished for)!
Use the source only for short time, otherwise shield the source and keep distance!!
