A Geiger-Mueller tube is a radiation detector that consists of a closed, hollow, metal cylinder (the cathode) of inner radius r and a coaxial cylindrical wire (the anode) of radius rb (see figure below)
with a gas filling the space between the electrodes. Assume that the internal diameter of a Geiger-Mueller tube is 3.05 cm and that the wire along the axis has a diameter of 0.195 mm. The dielectric
strength of the gas between the central wire and the cylinder is 1.15 x 106 V/m. Use the equation 2πrle in to calculate the maximum potential difference that can be applied between the wire and
EO
the cylinder before breakdown occurs in the gas.

P1. Consider a gas of oxygen atoms (H0, = 32 g/mol). What should the temperature of
the gas be for the mean square speed of the atoms to be v = 100 m/s? While keeping the
temperature the same as before, what should the pressure of the gas be for a container of
volume V = 51 to be able to contain m = 1 kg of oxygen? How much does the temperature
of the gas increase if the container is dropped on the ground at a speed of u = 2 m/s? You
may neglect thermal conduction with the outside.
