EXP 01: DISTANCE

Inverse Square Law

Radiation intensity decreases with the square of the distance from the source.
I ∝ 1/d²

EXP 02: SHIELDING

Attenuation

Materials absorb radiation exponentially based on density and thickness.
I = I₀e⁻μx

EXP 03: STATISTICS

Poisson Distribution

Radioactive decay is random. Counts fluctuate around a mean value.
σ = √N
