Which of the following provides an instantaneous measure of radioactivity:

a. Scintillation counter
b. Geiger counter
c. Film-badge dosimeter View Available

1.B and C only
2.A and B only
3.B only
4.A, B, and C

Option 2 is correct.

Scintillation counters and Geiger Counters provide instantaneous measure of radioactivity.

Explanation:

Of the three means of measuring radioactivity presented. Only Film-badge dosimeter lacks a sensitive photo-detector piece that instantaneously converts the amount of radiation seen into electrical waves. It collects the radiation over time and the film is then developed after a particular point in time for the radioactivity collected to be measured.

Although used majorly for gamma rays and neutrons, the scintillation counters uses a scintillator to convert ionizing radiation (like the two mentioned at the start of this passage), into photons that the photo-detector (usually very sensitive) converts into electrical signals for immediate reading. It gives the energy and intensity of the radiation intended to.be measured.

The Geiger Muller counter, the most used measure of radioactivity across all fields, uses the tube (which contains inert gases) as the sensitive radiation detecting piece. High voltage maintained in the tube makes the gases conductive and it transmits the intemsity of radiation to the processing part of the counter which converts this reading to electrical signals, immediately for reading. Unlike the scintillation counters, it doesn't measure the energy of the radiation.
