A beta particle emitter is Cobalt - 60. Cobalt - 60 decays to Nickel in an exited state. Then gamma rays are emitted to bring Nickel to its ground state.

Discuss how you would use a Beta-particle source to investigate the penetration limits of beta-particles in the laboratory.

Which of these two sources, strontium-90 or cobalt-60, would be more suitable to
use for the penetration experiment above. Justify your answer.
