Question 10 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which radiation detection method creates visible trails that can show the direction of ionizing particles?

Answer
A
Geiger counter
B
scintillation counter
C
film badge
D
cloud chamber

Explanation

A cloud chamber makes ionizing particles visible as trails. The particles ionize vapor in the chamber, causing droplets to form along their paths; the trail can reveal the particles’ direction of travel. A Geiger counter and scintillation counter detect radiation as signals, while a film badge records exposure on photographic film.
