Geiger Muller counter: To determine the optimum operating voltage and dead time of Geiger Muller tube

Procedure

  1. Measure the Volume of a hall.
  2. Measure the area of different sound absorbing surfaces.

Observation

  1. 1. For a hall,

           l = ______m²

           b = _____m²

           h = _____m²

  2. Volume of hall,

           l × b × h = _____ m³

  3. 3. Total absorption

Calculations
