Geiger counters can detect radioactivity because nuclear radiation consists of particles or radiation of sufficiently high energy
Question:
Geiger counters can detect radioactivity because nuclear radiation consists of particles or radiation of sufficiently high energy to eject electrons from atoms. Consequently, this type of radiation is called “ionizing radiation.” What is the longest wavelength of radiation that can be detected by a Geiger counter using neon gas as the ionizing medium?
