The PHY 124 Fall 2010 Lab 10 pretest is now posted for you to work on and submit before the beginning of your Lab 10 section next week. You will find it in the Assignments content area in Blackboard for your PHY 124 Lab section. As explained in the course syllabus, each Lab pretest is worth 35 points. As you will see, the Lab 10 pretest consists of 3 questions. The first is worth 11 points, the second is worth 12 points, and the third is worth 12 points, making the total possible score 35 points. To do the pretest you will need to study carefully the Lab 10 manual and to re-familiarize yourself with MapleTA syntax. Go to
http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/class/phy122ps/labs/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=phy124off:phy124_main_page
and read the instructions there on the "main page". Please also click on and review the
-- "Instructions" link (you've seen this before)
-- "Uncertainty, Error and Graphs" link (and make sure you read the 17 Nov. 2010 message on the PHY 122 Course Blog about printing out this document)
and, finally, the
-- "PHY 124 Lab 10 - "Nuclear gamma rays and decay" link.
No inactive, "red" links remain on the web page. We've come to the final lab of PHY 122 / PHY 124, and it's a nice one.
As you already know, the lab pretests are prepared in the "Maple TA" software environment. You may work on each assignment as many times as you wish, but the link in the Assignments section of Blackboard for your PHY 124 section will become inactive at the starting time of your lab section. Therefore, you should not wait until just before your lab section to begin work on it. If you read the Lab Manual carefully and, there is no reason for you not to earn all 35 points for the pretest. Make sure you read carefully the instructions for each pretest problem. After each problem click on "Next" until finishing the last one, Question 4; then make sure you click on "Grade" in the Maple TA software environment. After you get your grade, you may click on "View Details" to see more about how you did. Finally, click on "Quit and Save".
Good luck!

I am having trouble with Question #3, part 2, I am using the same formula as described in the handout for the half-life, but it is not accepting my answers. Am I using the correct formula, ln(2)/lambda? If so, is there a specific way within Maple TA that I need to enter this equation?
I am also having trouble with this question, I have put in various answers trying to fulfill the Maple TA Syntax such as (ln(2))/(lambda), 0.693/(lambda), (ln(1/2))/-(lambda), and several variations of each. I also used this equation, as stated in the lab manual, for the next two parts of Question 3 without success. Please advise.
just put the exact formula as described in the lab manual for number 3 part 2, don't add the parenthesis around the 2 and you will be fine
How long would it take for there to be only 1% of the material left? Enter your answer in MapleTA syntax and using SI units.
can anyone please help! So, with the formula N=1, and N(o)=99, but what is lambda, since we have to solve for t, we have to know the lambda. What am I doing wrong,please help!
Thanks, taking the parentheses out worked. For the last question, use N=1 and N0=100, and the value for lambda is the one you solved for in the previous field for question 3.

thank you so much!
If x is in meters, what are the units of the absorption coefficient ? (Enter the answer using MapleTA syntax.) <----- does anyone know what they mean by this? do I need to solve for lambda or do I just tell them units... which didnt work for me....i tried nm and m...no luck. Am I misunderstanding the question?
I like your post and everything you share with is extremely informative. keep sharing informative poeting here.
