Geiger Counters

A Geiger counter is a device used to detect and measure radiation levels in the environment. It contains a Geiger-Müller tube filled with a gas that conducts electricity when struck by radiation particles like alpha, beta, or gamma rays. When radiation ionizes the gas, a brief electrical pulse occurs, which the device registers as a click or beep. This provides a real-time indication of radiation presence and intensity. Geiger counters are used in various fields, such as radiation safety, medical testing, and environmental monitoring, to ensure safety and detect contamination.
