Question

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 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:
