The Wilson chamber is used to study?
The Wilson Cloud Chamber is used to study direction, speed, and distance of radioactivity.
Which radiation detector is independent of particle A- wilson cloud chamber B- GM tube C- solid state detector D- all?
The Wilson Chamber has the radiation independent of the particle. This is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.
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.
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.
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
How does the cloud chamber work?
It detects ionizing radiation in it's most basic form, a cloud chamber is a sealed environment containing supersaturated vapor of water or alcohol.
Used to detect nuclear particles as a visible path of droplets?
You think probable to a cloud chamber.
What device is used to study tracks left by subatomic particles?
bubble chamber
Why electron microscope cannot be used to study life processes?
because an electron microscope has a vaccum chamber which cannot allow oxygen to pass
Why supersaturated alcohol vapours are used in Wilson cloud chamber?
Only at the point where the alcohol vapour is supersaturated (in the very cold part of the chamber just above the cold source), ionization can be made visible. The ions act as a nucleus were the supersaturated alcohol can condense, and a trail can be seen for a brief moment. Just above this layer of the chamber this isn't possible because conditions aren't right (condensation cannot take place), and just below this layer it isn't possible either because the alcohol vapours are 'beyond' supersaturation; they will condense and form a puddle of liquid alcohol on the bottom. Alcohol is used because it's convenient as it readily evaporates, but water could also be used
What is an underground chamber?
its a subterranean chamber ; a subterranean chamber is a underground room used to confuse robbers
What was the chamber used for in the pyramid?
The Burial chamber for the Pharoah or King. obviously it was His Chamber. Tut Tut.
