This Geiger Reader App enables students to simulate real-time radiation detection and measurement using a virtual Geiger counter interface. Learners can explore how ionizing radiation is detected, observe click-rate patterns, and understand the relationship between radiation intensity and detector response through interactive data visualization.
Learning objectives: Understand how Geiger-Müller detectors measure ionizing radiation and identify radiation sources | Analyse radiation data through real-time counting and audio feedback mechanisms | Apply nuclear physics principles to interpret detector output and radiation safety concepts
