Geiger Muller counter can be used to determine the
Correct answer: A. Range of ionizing particle
- A. Range of ionizing particle
- B. Mass of ionizing particle
- C. Charge of ionizing particle
- D. None
Explanation
A Geiger-Muller counter is a type of radiation detector that can measure the ionizing radiation and provide information about the range of the particles causing the ionization. It is particularly effective for detecting and counting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
