A small amount of vapours of a substance having low ionization potential, called as quenching gas, eg alcohol vapours, is added to gm tube, which discharges at cathode before the principle gas +ve ions which discharges at cathode in about 10^-4 seconds. So the quenching gas neutralizes itself and also the tube....

Why should argon be at low pressure in the geiger muller tube?
Argon is used in the Geiger-Muller tube as a quenching gas to stop the discharge of ions after each pulse. Keeping argon at low pressure allows for efficient quenching of the ionization process. Higher pressure could interfere with the detection process by preventing the resetting of the tube after each detection event.
When radiation travels through the window of the geiger muller tube what happens so that the tube sends a signal that it has detected a particle?
When radiation enters the Geiger-Muller tube, it ionizes the gas inside. This ionization creates a conductive path that allows current to flow in the tube, triggering a voltage pulse that is counted as a particle detection event.
Who invented the the device for counting radiation?
Johannes ( Hans ) Willhelm Geiger and Walther Muller
What is a radioactive device that causes a speaker to click when a charged particle passes through it?
This device is called a Geiger Counter, or sometimes a Geiger-Muller counter, which measures alpha particle concentration. It was developed by Hans Geiger and Walther Muller in the early 1900's.
Instrument for detecting radioactivity?
A device generically called a Radiac, however there are dozens of different kinds of Radiacs which operate by different principles and measure different things. Some are:geiger-mueller counterrate meterionization chamber meterscintillation counterelectrometer dosimeterionization chamber dosimeterphotographic film dosimeter

What is quenching in G M counter?
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
What is chemical quenching?
Color quenching is the attenuation of photons produced by a scintilator due to absorption and scattering. This effect, combined with the chemical quenching (attenuation of the transfer of energy from the solvent to the scintillator gives the total quenching effect of the scintillator/solvent mix.
What are some medical uses of radiation?
to detect radiation, a device such as Geiger- Muller tube is used

Does the geiger muller tube become radioactive?
no. as with anything in a contaminated area its surfacemay become contaminated, but this can and should be washed off.
What are the applications of Geiger Muller scintillation counter to cytological studies?
geiger muller scintilation counter it is application in cytological studies

What is pulse current?
pulse of current is produced at every burst of radiation ending geiger muller tube. when this radiation hits the argon atoms; present in the tube electrons are knocked off.
In what year was the Greiger conter invented?
Geiger counter was devised by Geiger and Rutherford and later in 1928 it was improved by Geiger and Muller.
What is quenching in gm tube?
Quenching in a Geiger-Müller (GM) tube refers to the process of reducing the afterglow or the residual ionization effect that occurs after a radiation detection event. When radiation ionizes the gas within the tube, it can lead to a delayed discharge or spurious counts if the ionization persists. Quenching agents, often added to the gas, help to quickly neutralize the ions and allow the GM tube to reset and become ready for the next detection event, thereby improving the accuracy and responsiveness of the device.
