The angle takes on a maximum as the particle speed approaches the speed of light. The cherenkov angle is zero at the threshold velocity for the emission of cherenkov radiation. Detectores cherenkov trabajos finales 357 palabras. Hence, observed angles of incidence can be used to compute the direction and speed of a cherenkov radiationproducing charge. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in. The characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor is a completely normal phenomenon due to cherenkov radiation. Cherenkov radiation, light produced by charged particles when they pass through an optically transparent medium at speeds greater than the speed of light in that medium. The mechanism of generation of vavilov cherenkov radiation is discussed in this article. The mechanism of generation of vavilovcherenkov radiation is discussed in this article. The developers of the theory of the vavilovcherenkov effect, i. Pieter kuiper grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law. The phenomenon was discovered by the soviet physicist pavel a. This work has been released into the public domain by its author, pieter kuiper.
