Which consequence results when the scintillation detector's efficiency decreases?

💡 Explanation

A lower detection rate of gamma emission occurs because decreased efficiency implies fewer photons reach the detection material reducing scintillation events; therefore, the measured activity decreases, rather than improving resolution under identical source flux conditions.
