What device did Charles Wilson invent for detecting subatomic particles?
the cloud chamber the cloud chamber
Can you use ice instead of dry ice in cloud chamber experiment?
No, you can not use ice instead of regular ice in the cloud chamber experiment. It would not react the same way. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, the cloud chamber experiment relies on the sublimation of solid CO2 into gas.
Which device did Charles Wilson invent to detect subatomic particles?
He invented the cloud chamber (also known by the name Wilson chamber). Cloud chambers use supercooled water or alcohol to track the paths of subatomic particles.
How does the magma chamber work?
Magma Chamber: underground pocket of molten rock
What are the main features of volcanoes?
magma lava
Who invented the cloud chamber?
It is referred to as the Wilson Cloud Chamber. Maybe that will help.
What device did Charles Wilson invent for detecting subatomic particles?
the cloud chamber the cloud chamber
The Wilson cloud chamber is used to study?
The Wilson chamber is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.Another name is cloud chamber.
What is a Wilson Cloud Chamber?
A particle detector that is utilized for detecting ionizing radiation is called a cloud chamber or a Wilson chamber. It was invented by a physicist named Charles Thomson Rees Wilson.
What types of clouds can be made in a cloud chamber?
A cloud chamber do not actually form clouds. It is a device that is used for detecting particles of ionizing radiation.
A device in which droplets of alcohol condenses around a radioactive substance causing it to leave a trail is called?
It's called a cloud chamber :)
What is an instrument that detects radioactivity by means of condensation of gases?
The cloud chamber, or Wilson chamber.
The Wilson chamber is used to study?
The Wilson Cloud Chamber is used to study direction, speed, and distance of radioactivity.
Compare and Contrast cloud and bubble chambers?
1. A cloud chamber can be used to detect alpha or beta particle radiation. A cloud chamber is filled with water or ethanol vapor. When radioactive sample is placed in the cloud the chamber gives off charged alpha or beta particles that travel through the water or ethanol vapor. -B0N3S
What is the same and difference between a cloud chamber and a bubble chamber?
A cloud chamber can be used to detect alpha or beta particles. It is also filled with water or ethanol vapor. A bubble chamber holds super heated liquids. What do they have in common? They both leave trails.
Can you use ice instead of dry ice in cloud chamber experiment?
No, you can not use ice instead of regular ice in the cloud chamber experiment. It would not react the same way. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, the cloud chamber experiment relies on the sublimation of solid CO2 into gas.
What are the release dates for Cloud Chamber - 2013?
Cloud Chamber - 2013 was released on: Denmark: 15 September 2013 (internet) USA: 28 September 2013 (New York Film Festival)
