Answer:
Radon can be measured with a geiger counter by filtering an air sample then placing the filter in intimate contact with window of the meter. This is not a very accurate approach.
Radon measurements can be done with commercially available:
- Electret Ion Chambers
- Alpha Track Detectors
- Charcoal Canisters (for later examonation)
- Continuous Working Level Monitorss
- Continuous Radon Monitors
- Liquid Scintillation equipment

What is quenching in G M counter?
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
Is radon a gas at room temperature?
Yes, radon is a gas at room temperature.
Can radon gas cause migraine headaches?
No, exposure to radon gas, even a large amount, won't give you a headache. Radon is an inert or noble gas, and it is radioactive. Radon exposure is a bad thing as it is the second most common cause of lung cancer. But you won't be able to detect radon by any of your senses, and it will not directly cause you to be "sick" or for a "migrane" to appear. It will, after time, cause cancer because the radiation damage your lungs get from the long exposure. In the mean time, you won't feel a thing. At least not because of an exposure to radon gas.
Is radon a solid a gas or a liquid?
Radon is a gas at room temperature.
What is a radioactive noble gas?
Radon is a noble gas and is radioactive.
Does the geiger counter is standard or non standard?
Geiger Counter is a Standard because it is a device used to detect radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas.
What are 2 important properties of the gas used in the chamber of a Geiger counter?
What are 2 important properties of the gas used in the chamber of a Geiger counter
What is alpha particle detector and what is the application of bjt in alpha particle detector?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
Why is radon difficult to detect?
Radon is a gas, odorless and colorless. But with the appropriate equipment the detection of radon is possible and not so difficult.
What is a geiger counter and how do you use it?
A Geiger counter is a particle detector that measures Ionizing radiation, and emissions from nuclear radiation. Many of the Geiger counters are hand held and can be read from a screen on the front.
What is the main detector of a Geiger counter?
A Geiger counter usually has two detectors, especially in a two-piece bench type. The main detector is usually an ionizable gas in a metal tube.
What occurs inside a Geiger counter when ionizing radiation strikes it?
Geiger counters have gas in them that does not normally conduct electricity. When ionizing radiation passes into a Geiger counter, it makes the gas conductive, and the conductivity can be measured, indicating that the radiation is present. Gamma rays, which have no charge, can be measured by interacting with lead or steel in a Geiger counter, putting electrons into the gas.
What is a radiation detector that makes the use of gas filled metal tube?
The Scintillation Counter uses a gas-filled metal tube.The Geiger Counter uses a phosphor-coated surface.
What is quenching in G M counter?
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
What device i used to measure the radiation exposure of people working with radiation?
geiger counter Incorrct. It would be a film badge. A Geiger counter depends on the gas within the metal tube ionizing and a Geiger is hooked to an electric supply. A film badge would be used more frequently as it is simply a badge consisting of several layers of photographic film that is covered by black paper. The badge is worn and can be checked easily.
Is radon a gas at room temperature?
Yes, radon is a gas at room temperature.
What device is used to detect nuclear radiation?
There are many different devices used to detect nuclear radiation, though the most famous is probably the Geiger counter. A Geiger counter uses a tube filled with an inert gas (e.g. helium, neon, or argon) which becomes briefly conductive when struck by beta particles or gamma rays. The tube amplifies the resulting current pulse and displays it, typically as needle movement, lamp light, or an audible click. Other instruments for detecting radiation include ionization chambers, cloud chambers, bubble chambers, photomultipliers and dosimeters.
