Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Purpose of Each Instrument
To determine which instrument is used for detecting radiation, we first need to understand the purpose of each option provided:
Barometer: Measures atmospheric pressure.
Tachimeter: Measures speed or velocity, often used in surveying.
Geiger Counter: Detects and measures ionizing radiation.
Anemometer: Measures wind speed.
None of the above: Indicates that none of the listed instruments are correct.
Step 2: Determine the Correct Instrument for Detecting Radiation
From the list, the Geiger Counter is specifically designed to detect and measure ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
Final Answer
The instrument used for detecting radiation is \(\boxed{\text{C) Geiger Counter}}\).
