SEM-5704
Emulated Radiation Experiment

The SEM-5704 Simulated Radiation Experiment Apparatus enables students to observe results analogous to nuclear radiation phenomena without handling radioactive materials, making it an ideal teaching tool for nuclear education. It simulates key processes such as count rate recording, background radiation detection, the inverse-square law, half-life decay, exponential attenuation, and the statistical nature of radiation. The device includes a large transparent viewing window, automatic source-detector distance detection, and supports both manual and automated data collection via an SD card.

Experiments and Sample Data

1. Background Radiation

Simulated detection of background radiation. For example, in Hong Kong, the background radiation level is 1–2 counts per second.


2. Inverse-Square Law

Radiation intensity decreases linearly with the square of the distance from the source. Measured data demonstrates the inverse-square relationship in appropriate graphical analysis.


Inverse Square Law


3. Isotope Half-Life

Radiation intensity decays exponentially over time. Data analysis yields a simulated half-life of 182.4 s.

4. Exponential Attenuation in Matter

Radiation intensity decreases exponentially with distance traveled in material. Data analysis gives a linear attenuation coefficient of μ = 8.4 cm⁻¹.

5. Stochastic Nature of Radiation

Measured data shows statistical distribution of random fluctuations in count rate.
