This microprocessor-based instrument simulates the functionality of a Geiger Counter without using actual radioactive sources, making it completely safe for educational use. Designed for physics and mathematics applications, it provides a hands-on approach to studying radiation concepts without the risks associated with real radioactive materials.
The unit displays the counts of particles leaving an imaginary radioactive 'source' while also showing the number of remaining particles within the 'source.' This allows for a clear demonstration of the concept of half-life and the random nature of radioactive decay. By observing the fluctuating particle counts, students can gain a deeper understanding of probability and statistical variation in scientific data.
Beyond physics, this unit is also a valuable tool for mathematics education, particularly in the study of random numbers and statistical analysis. The random particle counting mechanism provides a practical demonstration of probability distributions, helping students grasp statistical principles interactively and engagingly.
The instrument operates on a 240V/12V AC Plug Pak, ensuring reliable power for continuous demonstrations. The clear digital display enhances usability by providing real-time readings, making it easy to monitor particle counts and analyse results.
