Abstands- und Absorptionsgesetz

English translation: inverse square law

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Abstandsgesetz (Radioaktivität)
English translation:inverse square law

Tech/Engineering - Physics / Radioactivity
German term or phrase: Abstands- und Absorptionsgesetz
I need either the English equivalent or the korrekte deutsche Bezeichnung.

The only occurrence is in:

Mit dem Experimentiersatz lassen sich die wichtigsten Erscheinungen und Gesetze der Radioaktivität mit Proben aus dem Alltag experimentell genau erarbeiten. Damit entfallen die Registrierung und Aufbewahrung von radioaktiven Präparaten. Sehr eindrucksvoll sind die Resultate besonders beim ***Abstands- und Absorptionsgesetz***, aber auch bei der magnetischen Ablenkung und dem Nachweis radioaktiver Stoffe im Leitungswasser und in der Luft. Die verwendeten Proben sind in Kunststoffbehälter eingeschweißt, so dass eine direkte Berührung ausgeschlossen ist.

principle of distance and absorption
Explanation:
As a radioacctivity passes through air and water it becomes absorbed. The farther it goes the weaker it becomes. Something on this order at any rate.

It seems I can't make a glossary entry if I decline all answers, so I've un-declined this one. Thanks to all.
