A laboratory is suspected to be contaminated with radiation from a radioactive material. Which of the following detection instruments can be best used to detect this radiation?

An X-ray film, because it can detect the low frequency X-rays.
An X-ray film, because it can detect the low energy infrared radiation.
A Geiger counter, because it can detect the high energy gamma rays.
A Geiger counter, because it can detect the highly penetrating ultraviolet radiation.

Answer:

A Geiger counter, because it can detect the high energy of gamma rays.

Explanation:

So, if you did not know this: The GM detector is actually commonly used and is portable. These detectors can detect alpha, beta, and gamma radiation! It's a pretty cool tool.

Hope this helps!

The detection instrument that can be best used to detect this radiation is a Geiger counter because it can detect high-energy gamma rays. The correct option is C.

What are radioactive materials?

Radioactive materials are those materials that contain radionuclides. These materials are radio pharmaceuticals. Examples of radioactive substances are thallium, gallium, iodine, and xenon.

Geiger counter is also  called Geiger–Müller counter. It is the machine that detects the ionizing radiation of the radioactive material. It is an electronic device that counts the ionization of the radiation.

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, that is generated from the decay of radioactive nuclide, that can be calculated by the Geiger counter

Thus, the correct option is C. A Geiger counter, because it can detect high-energy gamma rays.
