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.
