A Geiger counter, also called a Geigerâ??Müller counter, is used for measuring ionizing radiation. A Geiger counter detects alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays.
Geiger counter was invented by the Hans Geiger in 1908.
The Geiger counter clicked as it checked for radiation.

The Geiger Counter was developed by Hans Geiger.
Alcohol vapor is used in a Geiger counter as it serves as a quenching agent. When a charged particle passes through the alcohol vapor, it ionizes the molecules, producing a small electrical discharge that can be detected by the counter. The alcohol helps to quickly dissipate the electrical charge, allowing the counter to reset rapidly for the next detection.

Geiger Counter is a Standard because it is a device used to detect radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas.
