practice problem 1
Penetrating energetic particles leave a trail of ions in their wake — typically
water molecules that have been split into H+ OH− pairs.
This process requires about 32.5 eV (verify) of
energy, which means that about 30,000 ion pairs are formed when a typical
1 MeV beta particle is absorbed.
