  1. Ionisation chamber

  2. Scintillation counter

  3. Semiconductor detectors

  4. Proportional counter

  5. Geiger-Muller counter
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct as we know that scintillation is a process of conversion of radioactive energy (energy associated with a beta particle) to light. Hence, scintillation counter is the detector which converts the radioactive energy into light energy.
