Does a geiger tube count all radiation?
No. A GM tube only counts the ionizing events that happen to interact with it. Consider that a radioactive source radiates in 360 degrees, in three axes, to form a three dimensional sphere of radiation. The GM tube intersects only part of that sphere and, even for the the parts that do intersect, its not always a direct intersection, so there is not always a capture of an event that registers on the tube. This is why we talk about calibration geometry and efficiency.
What is meant by cascade effect in GM tube?
The cascade effect of a GM tube means that, as electrons are knocked off of their atoms by ionizing radiation in the presence of high voltage, the electrons interact with other atoms, producing more and more electrons, with the end result that a large pulse is detected by the counter. This is also known as avalanche mode. In this mode, ionizing events are simply counted, with no differentiation between the relative energies of those events. The GM tube is quantitatively more sensitive, at the cost of qualitative discrimination of overall dose rate.
Specific rotation of glucose at 20 degrees Celsius?
i performed this experiment and it comes out around 60 (radians*100cm3/gm*dm) where length of polarimeter tube was 2 dm and concentration was varied from 40 gm/100cm3 to 20gm/100cm3
What is a gm in metric and what is it converted to grams?

Why must a Geiger Muller tube for detecting alpha particles have very high thin end window?
A GM (Geiger-Muller) tube for detecting alpha particles must have a very thin window because alpha particles are highly interactive, and they can be stopped with very little, such as only a few inches of air, a sheet of paper, your skin, etc. Typical GM detectors for alpha application use mylar as the window. Even so, the mylar does interfere with the alpha detection, but this is better than nothing.
Do you need an orifice tube on a 95 gm?
YES that is a must.
What is the GM Tech 2 used for?
The GM Tech 2 is used for many things. The GM Tech 2 is used for scanning. Typically, the GM Tech 2 is used as a scanning tool for different GM vehicles.
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 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.
Where could GM SUVs be purchased?
One could find GM SUV's at their local GM dealership or used car dealership. One could also find new and used GM SUV's online at Craigslist, Auto Trader or the GM website.

Where do you locate and how do you replace the orifice tube on a 1992 Chevy Camaro?
Most GM's put the orfice tube in the output side of the condenser, near the bottom. Locate the fitting that runs from the condenser to the firewall, open that fitting and the orfice tube should be inside.
