bubbles through a 5% acetic acid solution. The sample then flows into
the reaction window of the sample chamber, where it passes over an
exposed surface of paper sensing tape impregnated with lead acetate.

Hydrocarbons and other combustible gases in the sample stream
react on the heated filaments causes changes in temperature and
therefore their resistance, which results in large error.

15) What is the principle of thermal conductivity analyzer?

It consists of a measuring cell and reference cell. When a gas

then the platinum wires in the measuring chamber are cooled less and their

then proportional to the gas being measured.

UNIT V
1. What is the basic principle of NMR ?

Elementary particles such as electrons or nucleus behave as if

rotatess about an axis and thus have the property of spin . The angular momentum
associated with the spin of particle will be an integral or a half integral multiple of h /
2, where h is Plancks constant.
Based on the property of spin, nuclei may be divided into three types.

If the number of neutrons and the number of protons are even, the spin would
be zero.Nuclei of this type do not give rise to an NMR signal,neither do they
interfere with an NMR signal from other nuclei. Examples C12,O14.
Nuclei having either the number of protons or the number of neutrons as odd
have half-integral spin.Examples are H1,B11,P31,etc.
Nuclei which have both the number of neutrons and the number of protons as
odd,would have integral spin .For example,H2 and N14.

11.

What is the principle behind the GM counter?

When an ionizing particle enters the counter, collision with the

filling gas produces ion pairs. The formed ion pairs move towards the appropriate
electrode under the voltage gradient. The mobility of electron is high and under this
potential gradient it acquires sufficient velocity to produce new ion pairs by collision
with atoms of argon. Repeating of this process produces an avalanche of electron
moving towards anode. Electrons when striking generates ionization throughout the
tube, called discharge. Each discharge builds a constant pulse counted by scale
counter. .
12.

What is proportional counter?

When the electric field at the centre electrode of an ionization

chamber is increased above the saturation level, but under that of the geiger region, the
size of the output pulse from the chamber starts to increase but remains proportional to
the initial ionization. A device operated in this principle is called a proportional
counter.
13.

What is depletion region?

A surface barrier detector consists of a p-n junction formed at the

surface of a slice of a silicon. At the junction there is a planar region where there are no
charge carriers and no electric field is called depletion region.
14.

What are the two types of Semiconductor detectors?

1.Surface barrier Silicon detector.
2.Lithium drifted Silicon and Germanium detectors.

15.

What is the dead time in GM counter ?

When the electron avalanche is collected on the anode,the

positive ions, being much heavier,progress only a short distance on their way to
cathode.. Their time travel is about 200s. During most of this time their presence as a
virtual sheath around the anode efficiently lowers the potential gradient to a point
where the counter is insensitive to the entry of more ionizing particle. This time is
called dead time of GM counter.
16. Define Absorption ,Fluorescence, Diffraction in X-ray Spectrometers?
Absorption of X-rays gives the information about the absorbing
material just as in other regions of the spectrum.

Fluorescence emission of X-rays enables to identify and measure

heavy elements in the presence of each other and in any matrix.
Diffraction of X-rays enables analysis of crystalline materials with
a high degree of specificity and accuracy.
17. What are the basic instrumentation of X-ray spectrometer
1.X-ray generating equipment
2.Collimator
3.Monochromator
4.Detector
18. Why do we go for a solid state detector instead of scintillation detector,etc?
The elecrical output from the solidstate is smaller hence a high gain, low
noise amplification is required. To diminish noise pickup a preamplifier is generally
located to the detector.Also scintilation counters sufer from poorer energy
resolution.therefore,solid state detectors are mostly used.

2 .Ionization chamber
3.The Geiger counter
4.Proportional counter
5.Scintilation gounter

20. Write short notes about the X-ray generating equipment ?
X-rays are generated in specially designed high vaccum sealedofff tubes,which have copper or molybdenum as target.Targets are made of tungsten
,iron,chromium,nickel are also sometimes used for special purposes .Due to the
bombardment of electrons, under the influence of the high voltage, the target becomes
hot, which can either rotated or cooled with cooling water.
