Abstract We review recent experimental tests of the gravitational inverse-square law and the wide variety of theoretical considerations that suggest the law may break down in experimentally acces. Place the counter on the slider, 8 cm from the beta source. To explore and calculate (if any) the relationship between the distance from radioactive sources and the intensity of beta radiation. The purpose of this experiment is to find the range of gamma rays and determine if the inverse square law applies. 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 If lot of particles enter the GM tube at a rapid rate, the tube will not have time to recover and some particles may not be counted. 1. 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 The inverse square law equation allows a direct calculation of the intensity of radiation at a predetermined distance from the source.
