Was C.F. Powell's method digital or analog-based?

  • Digital-based

  • Analog-based

  • Both

  • Neither

Answer

**Analog-based.** C.F. Powell’s method of detecting subatomic particles involved the use of photographic emulsions, making it analog in nature. The emulsions would be struck by the incoming particles, creating tracks that could be observed and measured using microscopes. This analog approach allowed for the visualization and analysis of the interactions of subatomic particles, providing valuable insights into their behavior.
