Interpretation: The basic working of (a) thermoluminescent dosimeter; (b) Geiger-Müller counter; and (c) scintillation counter are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The particles which are emitted from the radioactive nuclei contain energy in large amounts and can be detected easily. A thermoluminescent dosimeter is used for the same purpose.
The emission of particles from the radioactive nuclei contain energy in huge amounts and can be detected easily. The radioactivity is instantly detected with the help of Geiger-Müller counter.
The scintillation counter is a device that is used to detect the radiations instantly. The emitted particles from the radioactive nuclei contain energy in very large amounts and can be easily detected.
