If 600 counts are produced in one minute through a Geiger muller tube why have the counts decreased to 500 in a minute over a year?

Because the rate of the radioactive decomposition reaction has decreased.

How many counts is a half note equal to?
two counts
What rappers are in the Almighty Insane Latin Counts gang?
Uzi Boo is the only Latin Counts rapper I know of.
How many counts of silence does one half rest get?
One half rest is half of a standard measure. It always gets two counts.
How many solar panel to run 110 volt?
It's not the voltage that really counts, it's the wattage of the things you intend to run by the solar panels that counts.
How many counts for a triplet in piano music?
one
What counts radioactive material?
We often use a Geiger counter to detect and count the decay of radioactive material.
Does the semen produced from a flaccid penis have a lower sperm counts than that produced from an erected penis?
No.
Counts or measurements are examples of data produced by descriptive research true or false?
False
Can a women get pregnant if the guy is on steroids?
Yes, although sperm counts can be decreased in some individuals who have used steroids (or steroid-based medications) on a chronic basis.
Why does Geiger counter not truly measure alpha radiation?
Alpha particles are Helium nuclei, two protons and two neutrons - mass 4 and charge 2. These particles have very little penetrating capability - they can be stopped with a few inches of air, a sheet of paper, your skin, etc. As a result, alpha particles have no chance of penetrating the metal shell of the Geiger counter and participating in the ionization pulses that it counts.
How do you increase platelet count?
Platelet counts can be increased through diet. There are several foods that can increase platelet counts, some of these foods include kale, spinach, and tofu.
Can lice survive in the cold weather?
It is not normal for them to live through cold weather, but on some counts they do.
What is the prognosis of hypersplenism?
Prognosis depends on the underlying cause and progression of the disease. Left untreated, spleen enlargement can lead to serious complications. Hypersplenism can also lead to complications due to decreased blood cell counts.
The longest and biggest river which runs through minnesota and Louisiana?
If by through, you mean just by touching it's border it counts, it could be the Mississippi
How do you use a Geiger counter?
Geiger counter instruments consist of two main elements, the Geiger-Muller tube, and the processing and display electronics. The radiation sensing element is an inert gas-filled Geiger-Muller tube (usually containing helium, neon or argon with halogens added) which briefly conducts electrical charge when a particle or photon of radiation makes the gas conductive by ionization. The tube amplifies each ionization event by a cascade effect and outputs a current pulse, which can be passed to the processing electronics. The signal is amplified and can be displayed by an analogue or digital display. The electronics also generates the relatively high voltage, typically 400-600 volts that has to be applied to the GM tube to enable its operation. There are fundamentally two types of radiation readout; counts or radiation dose. The counts display is the simplest and is the number of ionizing events displayed either as a count rate, commonly "counts per second", or as a total over a set time period (an integrated total). The counts readout is normally used when alpha or beta particles are being detected. More complex to achieve is a display of radiation dose rate, displayed in a unit. This type of display is normally used for measuring gamma or X-ray dose rates and requires the use of an "energy compensated" GM tube, so that the absorbed dose displayed relates to the count events. The electronics will apply known factors to make this conversion. There is usually an option to produce audible clicks representing the number of ionization events. This is the distinctive "click" normally associated with hand held or portable Geiger counters. The purpose of this is to allow the user to concentrate on manipulation of the instrument, whilst retaining auditory feedback on the radiation rate.
