What is the difference between dead time and recovery time of gm counter?
Dead time is when pulses are not possible to occur. Recovery time is when small pulses are possible to occur but are not counted. Together the make up the Resolving time for the GM tube which is kind of specific for each tube.
What is the resolving power of an electron microscope?
Resolving power is the ability of an imaging device to separate points of an object that are located at a small angular distance
What is the resolving power of a compound microscope?
.2 um

What are the limitation of gm counter?
g m counter is counter not a detectr. So it cannt tells us the types of radiation. G m counter does not measure high energy radiation. It does not count during dead time.
What is the World of Warcraft GM password?
There is no "GM password" World of Warcraft is not like counter strike where you have a rcon password.
Which type of electron emmission exists in GM Counter?
Secondary emmission
Why gm counter is a counter not a detector?
A GM counter is a counter, and not a detector, because it counts ionizing events, rather than quantifying the amount and energy of those events. It has to do with avalanche mode (GM counter) versus linear or proportional mode (ionization detector). The electric potential (higher than that in an ionization detector) between the anode and cathode of the GM counter is such that any ionizing event causes an avalanche of electrons that are counted as one pulse. Since the avalanche occured, the pulse represents only the event, and not its energy. In a linear or proportional detector (counter), however, avalanche does not occur, so the pulse represents the event, and the pulse's energy is proportional to the energy of the event. In effect, the average current through the ionization detector is proportional to the radiation field strength, in units that are meaningful in terms of dose rate. This makes the ionization detector more useful when measuring the relative radiation field, while the higher gain of the GM counter is more useful when simply detecting the presence of radioactivity. The ionization detector is less sensitive than the GM counter, but it is more qualitative.
Why do you get negative pulses in a GM counter?
A GM counter has an anode that is held at a positive high voltage potential. This is so it can attract electrons released by ionization events in the shell. When an event occurs, electrons are transferred to the anode, temporarily reducing its voltage, hence the negative going pulse.
How a gm counter detect gamma rays?
Some Geiger counters can be used to detect gamma radiation. A better device for detecting gamma raysis a sodium iodide scintillation counter.
What do GM counters detect?
A Geiger-Müller (GM) counter is used to detect ionizing radiation, specifically from various nuclear decay processes like beta decay, gamma decay, and sometimes alpha decay.
I have not traded in stocks. I would like to buy 100 shares of GM. How would I do that.?
With GM problems now is not a good time to buy GM stocks.
What is gm date in php?
Gm date is used to return date and time in UTC/GMT format.
