Color quenching is the attenuation of photons produced by a scintilator due to absorption and scattering.
This effect, combined with the chemical quenching (attenuation of the transfer of energy from the solvent to the scintillator gives the total quenching effect of the scintillator/solvent mix.

∙ 11y agoI assume you are referring to Geiger Muller tubes.
In a basic Geiger Muller tube once ionization occurs the tube goes into avalanche conduction. To stop this conduction early Geiger Muller counters used a quench circuit that removed power from the tube long enough for the avalanche to quench, so another ionization event could be detected.
In a self quenching Geiger Muller tube a tiny amount of a quench gas is added to the tube's gas mixture. This quench gas quenches the avalanche conduction without needing to have the counter remove power from the tube. There are two types of quench gas: organic gases (e.g. alcohol, xylene) and halogen gases. Organic quench gases have the drawback that a tiny bit of them is consumed in each ionization event, giving the tube a limited life. Halogen quench gases are not consumed in use, so the tube life is not limited by them.

How could end quenching change the hardness?
End quenching can change the hardness of metals by introducing different crystal structures. Steel is commonly quenched to introducing martensite, a very hard form of steel crystalline structure.
What is a quenching gas?
A quenching gas such as a halogen is used in a GM tube to damp or quench the electron cascade. Recall that the electron avalanche is initiated by incident radiation that the tube was designed to detect. At some point that electron avalanche needs to be damped to "reset" the tube so it can react to another incident. Quenching gas does this.
What rhymes with quench?
bench, clench, mensch, stench, wench, wrench
Why is steel better than bronze?
Because of carburization, quenching(heat treatment of steel) and tempering of quenched steel.
Is chemical stability a physical or chemical properties?
Chemical property
What is 'Quenching?
Color quenching is the attenuation of photons produced by a scintilator due to absorption and scattering. This effect, combined with the chemical quenching (attenuation of the transfer of energy from the solvent to the scintillator gives the total quenching effect of the scintillator/solvent mix.
How do you spell quenching?
That is the correct spelling of "quenching" (eliminating, extinguishing).
Why does quenching in oil produce different results than quenching in water?
The fluid for quenching is specific for each type of steel; choosing an inappropriate fluid lead to bad results.
What is pineapple good for?
Quenching your thirst ;)
What is quenching in G M counter?
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
Why it is necessary to temper hardened steel immediately after quenching?
to avoid the high internal stresses caused by quenching and to get tempered Martensite that is less brittle
Purpose of the iron-carbon phase diagram?
to know what will be the crystal structure and physiacal and chemical properties of iron at known carbon percentage and temperature. provided that slow and uniform cooling rate is there and no quenching.
What are Q words that describe summer?
quenching quiet
What heat treatment produces the hardest steel?
quenching
Is high speed steel stronger than stainless steel?
You cannot have a general answer for this. The comparison in strength depends on the chemical composition or grade of each, as well as the heat treatment and quenching method each received.
Why isothermal titration calorimetry is is done with fluorescence quenching to study protein- small molecular inhibitor interaction?
quenching means (the act of extinguishing; causing to stop burning) "the extinction of the lights"
What is flashing and quenching potential for neon lamp?
the potential at which neon bub just start glow is called flashing potential.and quenching potential is a potential at which neon bulb stop to conduct..
