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 is the time difference between two latitudes?
there is no time difference between any two locations separated by x-amount of latitude as long as they are on the same longitude. When they are on different longitudes and separated by latitude count the number of longitudes between the locations to get the time difference
What is the time difference between Ontario Canada and Madurai India?
10 and a half to 11 and a half hours, depending on where in Ontario you count from.
What are the limitation of gm counter?
Some limitations of GM counters include limited efficiency at high count rates, inability to discriminate between different types of radiation, and the need for periodic calibration and maintenance. Additionally, GM counters are typically bulky and require a high voltage power supply for operation.
What is the difference of -5 degrees Celsius and -18 degrees Celsius?
13
What is the difference between much and many?
The difference between much and many is, much means you can't count it but many means you can count it
What is the difference between incrementation and decrementation?
Incrementation INCREASES the count, Decrementation DECREASES the count.
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 the difference between a manual and automatic differential count?
nothing. this is a dream
What is the difference of count a and count?
there is no difference, you idiot.

What is the difference between statistics and statistic?
A statistic (singular) is simply the count of something. Statistics (plural) is the count of something added to or compared to the count of something else.
What is the difference between sperm count and live sperm?
The count is made if you have enough sperm to fertalise a women, sperm comes out with the semen.
What is the real difference between a grade a and a grade b HK P7?
finish and round count
What is Count Date Difference function?
It allows you to find the amount of days there are between two dates.
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.
Which instrument is the best choice for general purpose radiation work and specifically detection and evaluation of contaminated surfaces but cannot differentiate between types and energy of radiation?
proportional counter
