These pulses are counted to give the rate of disintegration. There are three common types of detectors: gas-filled detectors, scintillation counters, and semiconductor detectors.

It describes the types of radioactive decay particles (alpha, beta, gamma rays, and X-rays) and the role of isotopes in identifying nuclear stability. It also covers the mathematical models for radioactive decay, including first-order kinetics and half-life calculations.

In this section we briefly consider X-ray absorption and X-ray diffraction.
