Introduction

♦ G-M Sensor is used to study radioactivity experiment. It is mainly used to measure intensity of γ-ray and β-ray.

♦ Connect G-M Sensor to any port in SenseDisc.

♦ Insert G-M probe into Thermocouple.

♦ Put the sensor in environment being measured.

♦ Do not knock on probe otherwise it will be broken easily.

♦ Although the radioactive source used in school is normally weak, you still have to be careful with it.

♦ Use pliers or other fixture to operate radioactive source. Do not place it near yourself or others.Clean your hands after experiment.

♦ Preserve the radioactive source properly. Lock and tag it.

♦ Use sensor to measure radioactive intensity

♦ Measure radioactive source count rate

♦ Measure background counting rate

♦ Radioactive shield

♦ Study relationship between radioactive intensity and distance
