GM EXPERIMENTS TUTOR

GM Experiments Tutor is a comprehensive self learning software, designed to be student friendly. Primarily it is designed to illustrate various GM Experiments –Theory, Physics principles involved, facilitating one to go through & carryout the experiments in the lab. It enables data entry, calculations & plotting of graphs etc pertaining to each of the experiments done. It facilitates one to learn Physics in computer friendly environment. Experiments that are covered are given below along with few of the screens.
Study of the characteristics of a GM tube and determination of its operating voltage, plateau length slope etc.
Verification of Inverse Square Law for g - rays
Study of nuclear counting statistics
