Question 33

Easy

A student is investigating how the count rate of beta radiation changes as the distance from a radioactive source increases.

Figure 3 shows the experimental setup.

Figure 3: An experimental setup on a laboratory bench. On the left, a radioactive beta source is held in a clamp stand. In the middle is a ruler measuring the distance in centimetres. On the right, a cylindrical metallic probe is pointed towards the source. This probe is connected by a coaxial cable to a digital counter box displaying a reading of counts per minute.

State the scientific name of the radiation detector tube shown in Figure 3.
