What is meant by cascade effect in GM tube?

The cascade effect of a GM tube means that, as electrons are knocked off of their atoms by ionizing radiation in the presence of high voltage, the electrons interact with other atoms, producing more and more electrons, with the end result that a large pulse is detected by the counter. This is also known as avalanche mode. In this mode, ionizing events are simply counted, with no differentiation between the relative energies of those events. The GM tube is quantitatively more sensitive, at the cost of qualitative discrimination of overall dose rate.


What is the device that is used primarily for the detection of beta radiation is?

The device primarily used for the detection of beta radiation is the Geiger-Müller (GM) counter. It consists of a Geiger-Müller tube filled with gas that becomes ionized when beta particles pass through it, generating an electrical pulse. This pulse is then counted and can be used to measure the intensity of beta radiation. GM counters are widely used in various fields, including health physics, environmental monitoring, and nuclear medicine.


Why must glass wall of gm tube be very thin?

The glass wall of a Geiger-Müller (GM) tube must be very thin to allow ionizing radiation to penetrate easily and interact with the gas inside the tube. A thicker wall would absorb or scatter some of the radiation, reducing the tube's sensitivity and accuracy in detecting low levels of radiation. Additionally, a thin wall minimizes the energy loss of the incoming particles before they can ionize the gas, ensuring a more effective detection process.


Specific rotation of glucose at 20 degrees Celsius?

i performed this experiment and it comes out around 60 (radians*100cm3/gm*dm) where length of polarimeter tube was 2 dm and concentration was varied from 40 gm/100cm3 to 20gm/100cm3


Does a geiger tube count all radiation?

No. A GM tube only counts the ionizing events that happen to interact with it. Consider that a radioactive source radiates in 360 degrees, in three axes, to form a three dimensional sphere of radiation. The GM tube intersects only part of that sphere and, even for the the parts that do intersect, its not always a direct intersection, so there is not always a capture of an event that registers on the tube. This is why we talk about calibration geometry and efficiency.

What is a quenching gas?

A quenching gas such as a halogen is used in a GM tube to damp or quench the electron cascade. Recall that the electron avalanche is initiated by incident radiation that the tube was designed to detect. At some point that electron avalanche needs to be damped to "reset" the tube so it can react to another incident. Quenching gas does this.

Where do you locate and how do you replace the orifice tube on a 1992 Chevy Camaro?

Most GM's put the orfice tube in the output side of the condenser, near the bottom. Locate the fitting that runs from the condenser to the firewall, open that fitting and the orfice tube should be inside.


What is the inverse of transconductance?

Roughly speaking, resistance. Transconductance refers to the reciprocal of the amplifying device's internal resistance. The concept is particularly useful if the device is a voltage-controlled current source (tube or FET). In vacuum tube amplifiers, transconductance (Gm) is (u / Rp), where... u is the amplification factor. u= (Gm x Rp). Rp is the anode (drain) resistance. Rp is the internal resistance of the amplifying device. Gfs is synonymous with Gm. The reciprocal of Gm (or Gfs) is (Rp / u). Another term for this reciprocal is transresistance.
