Geiger Counter
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They are notable for being used to detect if objects emit nuclear radiation.
A Geiger counter can be used to detect radioactive elements present in a mineral, such as uranium or thorium. The counter measures the level of radioactivity emitted by the mineral by detecting the high-energy particles produced by radioactive decay.
Helium, neon, argon are used because they are chemically inactive.
Geiger counter was invented by the Hans Geiger in 1908.
A Geiger counter, also called a Geigerâ??Müller counter, is used for measuring ionizing radiation. A Geiger counter detects alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays.
The Geiger counter clicked as it checked for radiation.

Levels of radioactivity are measured by a Geiger counter. Hans Geiger and Walter Muller created a practical radiation counter in 1928.

Geiger Counter is a Standard because it is a device used to detect radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas.
A device generically called a Radiac, however there are dozens of different kinds of Radiacs which operate by different principles and measure different things.
