Which of the following best explains why a photomultiplier tube is more accurate than a Geiger-Müller counte O The area of contact between the sample and the photomultiplier tube is larger than that of the Geiger- Müller counter. O The photomultiplier tube is better at amplifying the signal from the sample than the Geiger-Müller counter. O The photomultiplier tube is more sensitive to gamma radiation than the Geiger-Müller counter. The Argon gas inside the Geiger-Müller counter interferes with the signal.
