How to choose atomic and nuclear physics apparatus
- Electron beams: the Fine Beam Tube (Neon-Filled) shows a luminescent circular beam with measurement marks for a parallax-free diameter reading; with the Helmholtz Coils for Use with Fine Beam Tube it is used to determine the specific charge of the electron. The Deflection E-M Tube shows the beam on a fluorescent grid inclined at 15 degrees.
- Wave nature of electrons: the Electron Diffraction Tube produces rings from graphite, from which the electron wavelength is calculated for different anode voltages.
- Counting radiation: the Ratemeter is a battery-operated portable counter with a built-in GM tube; the Geiger Muller Counter accepts both BNC and Jack type Geiger Muller tubes and can count repeatedly; the GM Tube Test Source checks the beta efficiency of GM tubes.
- Seeing tracks: the Diffusion Cloud Chamber shows alpha particle tracks without a high-voltage supply but needs a dry ice pellet and an alpha source; the Dry Ice Maker produces the pellet from a CO2 syphon cylinder.
- Models without radioactivity: the Half Life Simulation, Alpha Particle Scattering Apparatus, Proton And Neutron Demonstration and Chain Reaction Apparatus model nuclear processes with cubes, ramps, magnets and matches.
Frequently asked questions
Which atomic and nuclear physics apparatus detects radiation?
The Ratemeter, with a built-in GM tube sensitive to alpha, beta and gamma radiation, the Geiger Muller Counter and the Spark Discharge Apparatus, which has a sliding holder for an alpha source and a scale for source-to-grid distance.
What does the Diffusion Cloud Chamber need?
A dry ice pellet and an alpha source. It operates continuously, has a 12 V lamp and needs no high-voltage source. The Dry Ice Maker produces the pellet from a CO2 syphon cylinder.
How does the Half Life Simulation work?
Each plastic cube has one black face. The cubes are thrown, those landing black face up are removed, and the rest are thrown again, so the falling count models radioactive decay.
