Hi ladies and gentlemen, our today’s post is going to be about Geiger-Muller counter. The Geiger counter (sometimes called the Geiger-Muller counter) is a device that detects ionizing radioactivity (including gamma rays and X-rays) - it counts the radioactive particle that passes through the device. The German nuclear physicist Hans Wilhelm Geiger developed the device from 1908-12. At that time, Geiger was an assistant to the British physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937). In 1928, the Geiger counter was improved by the German physicist E. Walther Muller.
Thus I think that this post will be helpful for u to know about Geiger-Muller counter. See you in next post with more info…
