Change of colors. Chemical changes. Emission of visible light. Electric charge. Active detectors: immediate measurement of the change. Passive detectors: processing before reading. Any material which shows measureable change when radiation fall/pass through it can be used as a radiation detector material. E.g. when radiation pass/on fall on the material may be its colour change, may some chemical changes take place, may be visible light emitts from the mateiral and may be electric charge produced in the material. So by using these behaviors of the materials against ionization radiations detectors may be fabricated to detect & measure the ionization radiations. Radiation detectors are of two type…………..

Radiation is a form of energy that is present in our environment and can have harmful effects on living organisms. Radiation threats come from a variety of sources, including nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and industrial facilities that use radioactive materials. These sources can release radiation into the environment, which can have harmful effects on…
