What hand held device can detect radioactivity in elements such as uranium?
A Geiger counter is a hand-held device that can detect radioactivity in elements such as uranium. It measures the level of ionizing radiation present by detecting the emitted particles or rays.
Which device did Charles Wilson invent to detect subatomic particles?
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.
What does a anemometer detect?
An anemometer is a device used to measure and detect the speed and direction of wind.
Smoke detector for cigarettes?
A smoke detector is designed to detect smoke particles in the air, which could indicate a fire hazard. However, it may not be effective in detecting smoke from cigarettes because the particles are smaller and closer to the source. It is important to use a dedicated smoke alarm for tobacco smoke detection.
What device did Charles Wilson invent for detecting subatomic particles?
the cloud chamber the cloud chamber
What device can you use to detect radioactive particles?
Geiger counter.
What did Rutherford use to detect radio activity?
Ernest Rutherford used a device called a scintillation counter to detect radioactivity. This device counted the flashes of light produced when radioactive particles interacted with a phosphorescent material. Additionally, he employed a gold foil experiment to observe the scattering of alpha particles, which further contributed to his understanding of atomic structure and radioactivity.
How do an bubble chamber work?
A bubble chamber is a device used to detect charged particles, typically in high-energy physics experiments. It contains a superheated liquid, often hydrogen, which is kept just below its boiling point. When a charged particle passes through the chamber, it ionizes the liquid along its path, causing bubbles to form in the superheated liquid. These bubbles create a visible trail that can be photographed and analyzed to study the particle's properties and interactions.
What hand held device can detect radioactivity in elements such as uranium?
A Geiger counter is a hand-held device that can detect radioactivity in elements such as uranium. It measures the level of ionizing radiation present by detecting the emitted particles or rays.
What is the refrigerant entering the metering or expansion device of a refrigeration system?
superheated vapor
What is alpha particle detector and what is the application of bjt in alpha particle detector?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
What technology had to be invented before Ernest Rutherford could perform his experiments with gold foil?
A device able to detect alpha particles and count them.
Which device did Charles Wilson invent to detect subatomic particles?
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.
What form of electromagnetic waves are used in smoke detectors?
There are two types of smoke detectors:Alpha particle - these do not use electromagnetic wavesPhotoelectric - these use a beam of either visible lightor near infrared electromagnetic waves
Which type of device causes the purposeful dissemination of radioactive?
radiation dispersal device
A device in which droplets of alcohol condenses around a radioactive substance causing it to leave a trail is called?
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.
A device in which droplets of alcohol condense around a radioactive?
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.
