About This Product
A cloud chamber makes the paths of ionising radiation visible. Alcohol vapour sits above a very cold surface, and when a charged particle passes through, it leaves a trail of ions on which the vapour condenses, forming a thin line of tiny droplets. Students watch for the tracks and learn that radiation is detected by the trails it leaves rather than seen directly. Short thick tracks and long thin tracks point to different kinds of radiation. School Lab Equipment India can export the Cloud Chamber Cold Plate Type to education buyers in Yemen, Costa Rica, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Bulgaria and Saudi Arabia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does the Cloud Chamber Cold Plate Type need dry ice or liquid nitrogen?
No. It uses a cold plate frozen in a standard freezer instead.
Q2. How long can tracks be observed?
Tracks of radiation can be observed for about 20 minutes, until the ethanol is vaporised, in a room at 25 °C (77 °F).
Q3. What consumables are needed?
Only ethanol (99.5%) and hot water at about 50 °C are needed to observe the radiation tracks.
