Which one of the following devices converts radioactive emissions to light for detection?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scintillation counters are devices that use a scintillating material that emits light when struck by high-energy particles, such as radioactive emissions. This light is then detected and converted into an electrical signal, allowing for the measurement and detection of the radioactive emissions. Geiger counters, photographic film, and radiotracers do not convert radioactive emissions to light for detection.
