Why is ARGON gas used in a G. M COUNTER?

Answers

Answered by thrups119944

Answer:

Argon is heavy (compared to neon or helium) which allows for more deposition of energy within the gas. This increases the detector's efficiency. Since GM detectors are generally used for detecting gamma or beta radiation the atomic density increases the probability of interaction.

Answer:

Argon is a (density-wise) heavy gas, and is also a noble gas which means it does not react with many things, and is not easily agitated by radiation, no matter the wavelength. Also, argon is more easily contained as seen in old light bulbs, and has a low tendency of leaking out.
