GM Counter Experiment
A Geiger-Müller (GM) counter is a radiation detector used to measure ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma rays). It consists of a gas-filled tube that detects radiation through ionization.
The GM tube operates on the principle that when radiation passes through it, it ionizes the gas inside, producing an electrical pulse that is counted.
