Answer
The cloud chamber, invented by Charles Thomson Rees Wilson, is a device used to study the behavior of charged particles. It consists of a sealed chamber filled with a supersaturated vapor. When a charged particle passes through the chamber, it creates a trail of ions, which act as condensation nuclei for the vapor, causing a visible cloud to form.
