Which material lines the tubes of fluorescent lights and glows when exposed to UV light?
Phosphor.
What is the meaning of radioactive as a safety symbol?
The "radioactive" safety symbol warns you that radioactive material or a radiation producing machine is near the symbol and you should take precautions to ensure that you are not unnecessarily exposed to ionizing radiation.
What makes blacklight posters glow?
Who doesn't love black light posters? They were popular in the 1970's though they can still be found today. They glow because of the ink used to print them. When the posters are exposed to ultraviolet light that comes from the black lights, it produces a fluorescent glow.
Radiation that individuals are exposed to on a continuing basis which is considered non life threatening is also known as this kind of radiation?
Background radiation.
Why are fabrics that fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet light so bright in sunlight?
i have the same question ni99a
Difference between fluorescent and phosphorescent material?
Fluorescent material immediately glows when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, that is it fluoresces. Phosphorescent material slowly absorbs and re-emits the radiation it absorbs. This enables phosphorescent material to absorb visible light spectra to "glow in the dark" at a later time.
The fluorescent molecules will shine when exposed to?
ultraviolet light
Is it safer to be exposed to ultraviolet radiation or infrared radiation?
I think it is dangerous in both the cases as each has its own complications.
How can we protect ourselves from the ultraviolet radiation?
We protect ourselves from the ultraviolet radiation by staying indoors, covering exposed areas with clothing and using an appropriately rated sunscreen designed for that purpose.
A mutation may result if the molecule shown is exposed to?
ultraviolet light or radiation of any kind
Which material lines the tubes of fluorescent lights and glows when exposed to UV light?
Phosphor.
Is true that if a person is exposed to radiation he has no chance of survival?
No. It depends on the amount of radiation, and it has to be ionizing radiation, which means ultraviolet or shorter waves. Alternatively, non-ionizing radiation can kill by heating the tissues if the energy intensity is high enough.
The danger of ultraviolet radiation?
It is simple the ozone layer pertects some of the ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun if you are exposed to much of the sun you can get skin cancer that is the danger of ultraviolet radiation
When exposed to ultraviolet light skin cells produces that?
Skin cells do not produce a hat - no matter what kind of radiation falls on them.
Why the ozone layer is important?
Without the ozone layer, the Earth and everything living would be exposed to harmful radiation, which could kill us if we were exposed for too long.
Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature out of all the other layers?
The thermosphere is heated by solar radiation particularly in the far ultraviolet range; much of this is filtered out by the atmosphere's lower layers - but in the these upper regions it is more exposed to this kind of radiation.
What staining procedures are needed to visualize the capsule of a bacterial cell?
The organisms are stained with fluorochromes, and when exposed to ultraviolet, violet, or blue light they become a bright image resulting from the fluorescent light emitted by them. This exposes the capsule.
