Proportional Counter Tube (Noun)
Meaning
Counter tube whose output pulse is proportional to number of ions produced.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- A proportional counter tube is used to measure the energy of incident radiation by detecting the number of ions produced.
- The output pulse from a proportional counter tube is directly proportional to the number of ions produced, allowing for precise energy measurements.
- Proportional counter tubes are commonly used in spectroscopy to measure the energy spectrum of incident radiation.
- The gas inside a proportional counter tube is carefully chosen to ensure that the output pulse is proportional to the number of ions produced.
- In a proportional counter tube, the output pulse is proportional to the number of ions produced, which is directly related to the energy of the incident radiation.
