A cloud chamber can be used to detect alpha or beta particle radiation. A cloud chamber is filled with water or ethanol vapor. When radioactive sample is placed in the cloud the chamber gives off charged alpha or beta particles that travel through the water or ethanol vapor. -B0N3S

What is the same and difference between a cloud chamber and a bubble chamber?

A cloud chamber can be used to detect alpha or beta particles. It is also filled with water or ethanol vapor. A bubble chamber holds super heated liquids. What do they have in common? They both leave trails.


What cloud is worse a wall or bubble cloud?

A wall cloud is typically associated with severe weather events such as tornadoes, making it more dangerous than a bubble cloud which is harmless and mainly a result of condensation. Wall clouds are characterized by rotating updrafts and are often found in supercell thunderstorms, indicating the potential for severe weather. Bubble clouds are usually small and puffy with no significant weather implications.


What type of counters do nuclear physicists develop?

gas tube ionization counters (e.g. geiger counter)crystal scintillation countersetc.There are many other types of detectors that are notcounters (e.g. cloud chamber, bubble chamber, proportional ionization chambers).


Is you wandered lonely as a cloud a simile?

yes it is because a simile is when you compare things using like or as.

What instrument measures radiation?

Geiger Counter, named after Hans Geiger, who developed the device in 1908. There are several others, Crystals that emit light when exposed to radiation are coupled to photoelectric tubes and the light out-put of the crystal is a measure of the radiation absorbed by the crystal. Gas filled ionization chambers which operate much like a Geiger counter are another. Thermoluminescent materials, photographic (x-ray) film, cloud chambers, and bubble chambers are a few others.

What device is used to study tracks left by subatomic particles?

A particle detector is used to study tracks left by subatomic particles. These detectors can be based on various technologies such as silicon detectors, scintillation detectors, or cloud chambers. They help in measuring the properties of particles such as charge, energy, and momentum.


What technology helped scientists learn about quarks?

The quark model was independently proposed by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1964. This was well before computers were powerful enough to analyze any data from particle accelerator collision observations (the CDC 6600 supercomputer was just introduced that year).The devices for making these observations at the time were cloud chambers, bubble chambers, spark chambers, etc. and photographs of the trails were taken and visually analyzed by humans.It probably was not until the late 1960s when minicomputers became widely available that data from more advanced detectors could be collected and the data disks or tapes taken to large scientific mainframes for computer analysis.So the actual technologies used to develop the model were:particle accelerators - e.g. van de graaff machines, cyclotrons, synchrotrons, betatronsdetection devices - e.g. cloud chambers, bubble chambers, spark chambersphotographymeasurement tools - e.g. protractors, length scaleselectromechanical calculatorsetc.
