The study is a recap of experimental physics which compares the G.M tube characteristics of (Ba-133) and (Sr-90) source respectively. SPECTECH ST360 Counter was used for this experiment. The test sources where placed 2cm and 4cm respectively in the counter window and voltage applied through starting at a potential of 780v. The counter was allowed to read for 60sec as the voltages was increased in step of 20v. Results obtained using Microsoft mathematics and further evaluations showed an
