Geiger-Muller tube is instruments requires you test three times the background of the work area.
<u>Explanation</u>:
These detectors are gas filled detectors and hence requires time for responding to the value. This time is taken because during this period it collects the electric charges and features of the electric circuit. It also gets stabilized during this period. This device has thumb rule i.e one must wait or hold for at the least 3 times the time constant before getting the precise and accurate reading. The time constant order is 10 seconds for the ionization chamber but for the Geiger counter it can vary from seconds to greater than 20 seconds
Yes it is absolutely true that each lung is fed oxygen by a separate bronchus. There are actually two lungs and two bronchi. Each of the two lungs are safeguarded by the two ribcages as
they are placed within the rib cages. The lungs actually consists of elastic
sacs that contract and expand for taking in and releasing air. This way oxygen
is passed into the blood and carbon dioxide is taken out from the blood and
passed out. This is also the main function of the lungs.
