A Geiger counter is a device which finds and measures radioactivity. an instrument that finds and measures radioactivity (Hans W. Geiger (1882-1945), German scientist who invented it (with Walter M. Müller)). or Geiger-Müller counter Device used for detecting and counting individual particles of radiation. Invented by the German physicist Hans Geiger (1882-1945) and later refined with help from Walther Müller, the device is a gas-filled metal tube with a wire through its axis and a high voltage applied to the wire. As particles enter the tube, they create a large avalanche of ionization in the gas, which then discharges, creating a brief electric pulse. The tube produces the same large output pulse for virtually every charged particle that passes through the gas and so is useful for detecting individual particles. It can therefore indicate lower levels of radiation than is possible with other types of detectors
n. A metal or glass tube filled with gas that is ionized by passing charged particles, producing within the tube an electric charge indicative of a particular particle
A device that detects the passage of charged particles via the ionization of gas that they cause as they pass through a region Used to detect the particles produced in certain forms of radioactivity
A Geiger-Müller detector and measuring instrument It consists of a gas-filled tube that discharges electrically when ionizing radiation passes through it and a device that records the events
A Geiger-Müller detector and measuring instrument It contains a gas-filled tube which discharges electrically when ionising radiation passes through it and a device that records these events
An instrument for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation It contains a gas-filled tube which discharges electrically when ionizing radiation passes through it
born May 24, 1810, Frankfurt am Main, Ger. died Oct. 23, 1874, Berlin German Jewish theologian. He served as rabbi in Wiesbaden from 1832 and in Breslau 1838-63. He helped found a theological journal in 1835 and served as its editor. Geiger urged the need for simplified ritual, liturgy in one's native language, and emphasis on the prophetic writings as the core of Judaism, and he stressed the process of change and growth in Jewish religious consciousness, a basic idea in Reform Judaism
born Nov. 9, 1891, Munich, Ger. died June 16, 1952, at sea German sociologist. An early critic of the Nazis, Geiger fled to Copenhagen, where in 1938 at the University of Århus he became Denmark's first professor of sociology. He studied social stratification and mobility, examining Danish intellectuals and the people of Århus. His posthumous Democracy Without Dogma (1964) expressed his vision of a society depersonalized by ideology but redeemed by human relationships
