A cloud chamber works by creating a supersaturated environment with alcohol or water vapor. When ionizing particles pass through the chamber, they leave a trail of ions that act as nucleation sites for the vapor to condense, forming visible cloud-like trails. This allows for the detection and visualization of the path of the particles as they move through the chamber.
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.
Background radiation is the term used to describe the low levels of ionizing radiation that are constantly present in the environment from both natural and man-made sources.

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.

Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, causing damage to cells and DNA, which can lead to cancer and other health issues. Non-ionizing radiation, on the other hand, does not have enough energy to ionize atoms and is generally considered to have less harmful effects on human health and the environment.

radiation levels by measuring the amount of ionizing radiation present in the environment. It detects radiation by counting the number of ionizing events that occur within a specific period of time. This information can help monitor exposure levels and ensure safety in areas with potential radiation hazards.
