Introduction Reversible and irreversible processes are utilised in thermodynamics to illustrate the system behaviour. Often several chemical and physical happenings are going around people which are often not acknowledged. Some of the procedures cannot even be realised, with their existence often eluding the people. However, the procedures do happen and there is a distinction in the participant's state taking part in the procedures. For example, water boiling, ice melting, things burning and many more. One aspect is similar, that is the difference in nature. Heat or energy exchange is classified under reversible and irreversible processes. What are reversible and irreversible ... Read More

Introduction A Scintillation counter is basically an instrument that assists in detecting the radiation. Scintillation is mentioned as the flash of light that is created by transparent material because of the passage of subatomic ions, electrons, photons or alpha particles. Scintillation is a huge part of the detector and it ideally comprises Scintillator and photodetector. A scintillator helps in releasing the light when the particles of high energy hit it. The energy of the released light pulse is directly proportional to that particle which strikes the scintillator. A photodetector in the Scintillation counter assists in converting the electrical light ... Read More
