In my physics degree we did that same experiment to see radiation from a small piece of radioisotope. You never quite believe in radioactivity until you see those streaks shooting though the little chamber. The funniest part in hindsight was the way we got the dry ice. Place a sturdy sock over the end of a fire extinguisher and give it a good blast. The sock will collect more than enough dry ice to be useful in the grapefruit sized chamber we used. I think the lab technicians did this for us, but even so I expect health and safety probably had kittens when they found out. This was when the precession of gyroscopes experiment had an open air ring of mercury to provide the near friction free electrical contact for the motor in the gyro itself. 😁

I love these demonstrations, because they're so accessible. But two things elude me. What kind of reaction is actually occurring that makes the streaks visible? And why does the streak itself look quite slow? I'm guessing that once a particle hits a bit of vapour, either it or the alcohol molecule changes in some way and that's what continues the streak, or maybe the muon just loses a bunch of its momentum upon collision? Either way, I'd love a bit of a deep-dive on the physics of the streaks themselves. Maybe a slow-mo? (Slow-slow!)😀
@FriedrichHerschel
Жыл бұрын
No reaction. Just condensation.
@oasntet
Жыл бұрын
The alcohol/air solution is super-saturated. The alcohol is totally ready to stop being a gas, it just needs a nucleation point to get started. So along comes a tiny particle, which interacts with a few molecules of the alcohol, giving it somewhere to condense, and it's a chain reaction from there. It's slow compared to the speed of the particle itself because we're actually seeing the alcohol condensing, not the particle itself.
@jergarmar
Жыл бұрын
To clarify, the nucleation happens because the particle ionizes the alcohol; that is, knocks electrons loose. Alcohol is polar, so it will be attracted to these ionized particles, clumping together, which develops into a nucleation site for condensation. Now, as to the speed of the track itself, it's actually kind of tricky to measure exactly. There's a complicated chain-reaction happening at the atomic scale all the way up to the visual scale, so the speed at which the track propagates does not have a direct correlation to the speed of the particle. One thing though, the muon is losing momentum, but not THAT much momentum per collision. How do I know? Because momentum includes direction, and the direction doesn't change much. For muon tracks, they are usually identified by straight and skinny lines. They are still way more massive than the electrons they are colliding with.
@JonBrase
Жыл бұрын
The streak forms too quickly to see, but it's initially just a trail of ions along the path of the particle, which isn't visible. The streak is "slow" because the actual coalescence of visible droplets around the ions takes time, so it's a while before the streak thickens enough to be visible. Meanwhile, the droplets get blown around on air currents, so as the streak thickens, it's already starting to be pulled apart.

While I enjoy the explanation and love the idea that you can make a particle detector from household materials, I feel this is a less rigorous demonstration than the train/rocket thought-experiment because it presupposes acceptance of Relativity as the explanation for the indirect evidence being seen, rather than using a visual display of the dilation/contraction itself (even if it’s an imagined one). The demonstration itself is still amazing, though.
