It detects ionizing radiation in it's most basic form, a cloud chamber is a sealed environment containing supersaturated vapor of water or alcohol.

No, you can not use ice instead of regular ice in the cloud chamber experiment. It would not react the same way. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, the cloud chamber experiment relies on the sublimation of solid CO2 into gas.
He invented the cloud chamber (also known by the name Wilson chamber). Cloud chambers use supercooled water or alcohol to track the paths of subatomic particles.
Magma Chamber: underground pocket of molten rock
Alpha and beta particles ionize the air molecules in a cloud chamber as they travel through, leaving a trail of charged particles behind. These ionized air molecules attract water vapor, forming droplets along the path of the particles, which are then visible as trails in the cloud chamber. The trails help to visualize the path and behavior of the particles as they move through the chamber.
It is referred to as the Wilson Cloud Chamber. Maybe that will help.
A cloud chamber works by creating a supersaturated vapor environment, where ionizing radiation passing through the chamber causes the vapor to condense into tiny droplets, making the path of the radiation visible.
The Wilson chamber is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.Another name is cloud chamber.
A particle detector that is utilized for detecting ionizing radiation is called a cloud chamber or a Wilson chamber. It was invented by a physicist named Charles Thomson Rees Wilson.
A cloud chamber do not actually form clouds. It is a device that is used for detecting particles of ionizing radiation.

1. A cloud chamber can be used to detect alpha or beta particle radiation. A cloud chamber is filled with water or ethanol vapor. When radioactive sample is placed in the cloud the chamber gives off charged alpha or beta particles that travel through the water or ethanol vapor. -B0N3S
The device you are referring to is called a cloud chamber. It is used to observe the paths of charged particles, such as those emitted from radioactive decay, as they ionize the alcohol vapor in the chamber, producing visible tracks.
No, you can not use ice instead of regular ice in the cloud chamber experiment. It would not react the same way. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, the cloud chamber experiment relies on the sublimation of solid CO2 into gas.
A cloud chamber can be used to detect alpha or beta particles. It is also filled with water or ethanol vapor. A bubble chamber holds super heated liquids. What do they have in common? They both leave trails.

This sounds like a cloud chamber, used to visualize the paths of ionizing particles. The alcohol droplets serve as nuclei around which the particles leave trails as they ionize the air inside the chamber.
