Question 1
Which radiation detection instrument is MOST appropriate for measuring low-energy beta emitters such as H-3 and C-14 in liquid samples?
Correct Answer:
Liquid scintillation counter
Question 2
What is the primary advantage of a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector over a sodium iodide (NaI) detector for gamma spectroscopy?
Correct Answer:
Superior energy resolution
