Abeta and gamma source, co-60, was placed in a chamber which was first lined with paper and then, after, with copper and lead. a geiger counter was used in both cases to detect the emission of radiation. you expect

Paper will not stop any radiation.

Copper will stop beta radiation.

Lead will damp the gamma radiation

Explanation:

A Geiger counter is an instrument used to measure the radiation level. There are majorly three types of radiation: Alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha radiations have least energy and gamma radiation have the highest energy. Alpha radiation can be stopped even by a sheet of paper. Beta radiation can be stopped using a sheet of aluminum or copper. To stop the gamma radiation you need lead. Also, the energy of the gamma radiation and thickness of the lead shield will decide how much of the gamma radiation is stopped by the lead sheet.

In the given scenario, when only paper is used neither beta nor gamma radiation will be stopped and Geiger counter will show you the high radiation level. When the source is lined with copper and lead, beta radiation will be stopped and gamma radiation will be damped. So Geiger counter will show reduced level of radiation.
