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.
What else can I help you with?
Why must a Geiger Muller tube for detecting alpha particles have very high thin end window?
A GM (Geiger-Muller) tube for detecting alpha particles must have a very thin window because alpha particles are highly interactive, and they can be stopped with very little, such as only a few inches of air, a sheet of paper, your skin, etc. Typical GM detectors for alpha application use mylar as the window. Even so, the mylar does interfere with the alpha detection, but this is better than nothing.
How do particles move in a glass of water?
I think you mean 'capillarity' which happens in very thin tubes because the adhesive forces between water and glass molecules is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules alone. In narrow tubes, this is enough to pull the liquid up the tube.
What is a coverslip?
A cover slip is a very thin piece of glass used to cover a sample on a microscope slide. It stops the sample from getting on to the objective lens of the microscope.
Is a T100L 250V fuse the same as a T100mA 250V fuse?
It should be the same thing. But other things are also described as T100L so you should make sure it's a fuse and check by holding it up to the light that it has a very thin wire inside the glass tube.
What is the uncertainty of a 50 ml glass gas measuring tube?
It depends on the tube's construction. Assuming a graduation every one millimetre, a 50 mm high tube can measure to +/- 0.5 ml accuracy. A 200 mm high (very thin!) tube, also with one mm graduations, is four times as accurate. You need to state the smallest actual graduation to get your answer, and be aware that the liquid's meniscus affects reading confidence.
Describe the structure of a thermometer?
The thermometer consists of a very fine glass tube having a very small bore and is called capillary tube. At one end of capillary tube a very thin glass bulb is provided. The bulb is filled with mercury( most of the times) or alcohol The other end of capillary tube is sealed. The capillary tube is protected by a thick glass tube called stem. On the stem are made markings. These markings are called graduations or degrees.

Which element can cut glass?
water can cut through glass but only when at a very high speed and a thin stream
Why is DNA extraction not carried out in glass tube?
DNA is a very complex and delicate structure which may be damaged if stored in a test tube.

Is AGC and ABC fuse the same?

Is it possible to break a sheet of glass by walking through it?
If the glass is thin enough, yes. There's also a very real risk of a glass shard cutting quite deeply into whoever did it.
What is the Dome of the rock made out of?
The building is built of stone and glass. The roof is covered with a very thin layer of gold.
What is thermometer made up of?
In this answer I m referring to the normal thermometers. Not the electronic thermometers. There is a very very thin capillary tube incide the thermometer which is filled with mercury and it has a bulb aT one end. When it touches a surface, the mercury expands, rises in the capillary and the temperature is shown.
