Showing 5 experiments that use the Wireless Geiger Counter.
Investigating Environmental Radiation
Students use a Geiger counter to measure the radioactivity of a sample of their choosing. They measure...
Radioactive Decay and Half-Life
Students measure the counts coming from a sample of Ba - 137m with a Geiger counter. They answer questions about radioactive decay and half-life during...
Types of Radiation
Students use a Geiger counter to measure the background radiation to calibrate the measurements of radiation source disks. They measure the count through...
Modeling Absorption of Radiation
Students use a Geiger counter to measure the radiation from a radioactive sample of Sr-90. They use the radiation absorption equation to predict the counts...
Determining the Relationship Between Distance and Radiation Count
Students measure the radiation count rate as a function of distance. They use their measurements...
