Detectors of Radiation

Detecting Nuclear Radiation

1. Most methods of detecting alpha-, beta- and gamma-rays are based on the fact that these radiations have an ionizing effect.
2. The detectors used to detect radioactive emissions include
1. 3 Types of Radioactive Emission
2. Characteristics of Radioactive Emission
3. Detectors of Radiation
1. Gold Leaf Electroscope
2. Geiger-Muller Tube
3. Cloud Chamber
4. Spark-Chamber Detector
5. Film Badge (Dosimeter)
4. Table below shows the types of emission that can be detected by different detectors
