What devices are used to detect radioactivity?

Devices such as Geiger counters, scintillation detectors, and ionization chambers are commonly used to detect radioactivity. These devices can detect the presence and measure the strength of radiation from radioactive materials.


What type of counters do nuclear physicists develop?

gas tube ionization counters (e.g. geiger counter)crystal scintillation countersetc.There are many other types of detectors that are notcounters (e.g. cloud chamber, bubble chamber, proportional ionization chambers).

Saha's ionization equation?

Saha's ionization equation describes the equilibrium constant for the ionization of an element in a gas at a given temperature as a function of the electron pressure. It is used to understand how the degree of ionization of an element changes with temperature and pressure in a gas.


What instrument measures radiation?

Geiger Counter, named after Hans Geiger, who developed the device in 1908. There are several others, Crystals that emit light when exposed to radiation are coupled to photoelectric tubes and the light out-put of the crystal is a measure of the radiation absorbed by the crystal. Gas filled ionization chambers which operate much like a Geiger counter are another. Thermoluminescent materials, photographic (x-ray) film, cloud chambers, and bubble chambers are a few others.

Is ionization potential and ionization energy same?

Yes. If the units are eV (electron volts) this is called ionization potential, if the units are kJ/mol then this ionization energy. The conversion between the units is:- 96.485 kJ/mol = 1 eV/particle) Historically it was always called ionization potential as that reflected the method of measurement.
