Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?
There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.
How do you use the geiger muller tube to test for alpha?
Do you want to verify that a radioactive source emits ONLY alpha particles? If so, first measure the original count-rate, with no radioactive source, on the GM-tube. This is the background count-rate. Next, place the radioactive source near the GM-tube, and measure the new count-rate. Place a thin piece of paper between the GM-tube and the source. You will see that the count-rate dropped to the background count-rate. This is because all of the alpha particles are absorbed by the paper. If there were other types of radiation, like beta and gamma radiation, the count-rate wouldn't drop to the background count-rate.
What is a background count rate?
A lot of the time when you're trying to measuring the value of something, there are things going on, independent of you and what you're concerned with, that can mask the true value that you're looking for. For instance, say you wanted to measure how loud your computer is, but a neighbor is blasting their music so loudly that you can't even hear your computer. So, what the experimentalist would do would be to first measure the music by itself, the background count, then measure the computer + background count, and then subtract the first measurement from the second leaving only the computer noise.In nuclear decay measurement, especially gamma radiation, there are a lot of things in the background that skew the gamma ray measurement you're trying to make, mostly caused from long-lived radioactive isotopes that naturally occur in everything (K40 comes to mind). So you just simply measure those background energies by themselves and then subtract them from your data.
What will you do if you had no heart rate monitor but want to measure your heart rate?
Put your hand over your heart. In one minute, count the beats. Keep doing so.
How do you measure heart rate while exercising?
count how many times your heart beats in ten seconds then multiply that number by 6
Is 1970 a label count or measure?
count
What do you need to measure the rate of respiration?
The rate of respiration is the number of breaths per minute. All you have to do is count either the number of breaths in OR out (not both) in one minute. To get more reliable results, the experiment should be repeated several times.
Why is the background count is not constant?
The background count for radioactivity is not constant because of radioactive decay. Natural radioactivity is found everywhere, in the air and on the ground we walk on.
How do you count water amount in aquarium?
you dont count you measure it
Is pulse rate part of the circulatory system?
The pulse rate is a count of the hearts beats per minute, so the pulse rate itself isn't part of the circulatory system, but instead is a method used to quantify (measure) the strength and consistency of the circulatory system.
What is the relation between hemoglobin count and pulse rate?
There is relationship between pulse rate and hemoglobin count because as per your blood sensitivity you got your pulse rate high and low so this is true that there is relation ship between pulse rate and hemoglobin count.
