(c) (i) Explain the two roles of reverse biasing when connection the semiconductor detectors. [4] (ii) What do you understand by the term "efficiency of a detector"? [2] (iii) List the two types of efficiency associated with semiconductor detectors. [2] (d) A Gamma ray sample emits 648 counts per minute, then the detector is able only to detect 340 counts per minute. What is the efficiency of the gamma ray detector used? [4] (e) Briefly discuss two disadvantages associated with gamma ray spectroscopy for characterization of radioactive elements. [2]
