Explain the following statement: In a windowless proportional counter, the output pulse height from an alpha particle source wil

l increase with increasing alpha energy whereas for beta particles the opposite is true.

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
5 0

Answer / Explanation:

Regarding α and β Particles in Windowless Counter, the range of α particles is lower than β particles. Alpha particles typically have range less than the dimensions of the gas chamber so that proportional  counters are able to easily record. Hence,  with almost 100% efficiency, each particle which enters the so called active volume.

Then, since the pulse height spectra depends on the number of ion pairs which have formed,  an aplha particle with higher energy creates more ion pairs in the chamber.  However, beta particle range usually exceeds the dimensions of the chamber and therefore  most of the betas hit the walls where they deposit energy. Then, fewer ion pairs are formed  because very few β’s give their energy to the bulk gas.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The code is attached.

Explanation:

I created a string s including 6 colors with spaces in between. Then I converted the string into a list x by using split() method. I used three different methods for removing elements from the list. These methods are remove(), pop() and del.

\\ Then I used methods append(), insert() and extend() for adding elements to the list.

\\ Finally I converted list into a string using join() and adding space in between the elements of the list.

What might cause a shotgun to explode?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

When you pull the trigger to shoot a shotshell from a shotgun or a cartridge from a rifle or handgun, the firing pin strikes the primer in the base of the cartridge or shotshell. This causes the primer to explode. The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder, which burns rapidly and converts to a gas.
