Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cloud chamber operates based on the principle of creating a supersaturated vapor within the chamber. When charged particles pass through this vapor, they ionize the molecules in their path, which allows the vapor to condense into visible "clouds" that make the path of the charged particle visible. Therefore, the operation of a cloud chamber relies on condensation.
