Question 2

types of dosimeter

Answer 2

film badge
exectroscope
air sampling
geiger counter

Question 3

Film badge principles

Answer 3

film reacts to radiation, a variety of filters monitor different energies, allowing the analyst to assess what effects the radiation exposure might have on the person who was wearing it.

Question 4

Electroscope principles

Answer 4

charged device being discharged by radiation

Question 5

Geiger counter principles

Answer 5

ionising radiation makes a conductive path between two charged plates, current produced is amplified and usually sent to a speaker to make s clicking sound for each interaction.
