What mode to set in?

Answer 2

Gamma
Det 2

Question 3

Pancake probe detects?
What mode to be in?

Answer 3

Alpha beta gamma xray
Det 1

Question 4

What is used to calibrate the Ludlum?

Answer 4

CS137

Question 5

Can Ludlum identify radiation types?

Answer 5

No
Can use pancake to make educated guess though

Question 6

Technology used in probes?

Answer 6

Geiger muller

Question 7

What is a radiation detection mode that counts events over a set time period for precise measurements?

Answer 7

Scaler

Scalers are often used in laboratories to measure radiation levels accurately over specified intervals.

Question 8

What device provides a real-time radiation dose rate or count rate, typically displayed in CPM, CPS, or mR/hr?

Answer 8

Ratemeter

Ratemeters are essential for monitoring radiation exposure in various environments.

Question 9

What is the response mode with a shorter averaging time that provides quicker readings but with more fluctuations?

Answer 9

Fast Detection

Fast detection is useful in scenarios where rapid changes in radiation levels occur.

Question 10

What response mode has a longer averaging time, reducing fluctuations for a more stable reading?

Answer 10

Slow Detection

Slow detection is beneficial when a stable measurement is required over time.

Question 11

A______ is a material that emits light (photons) when exposed to ionizing radiation, which is then converted into an electrical signal for radiation detection.

Answer 11

scintillator
