Why do you need to take care not to get a source of radiation inside your body particularly alpha?
Alpha particles are low energy, and are pretty much stopped by your skin. However, if it is inside your body, it can do damage. With all radiation, the inverse square rule applies- 2x as far away, 1/4th the dose. 3x as far, 1/9th of the dose. 4x as far, 1/16th of the dose. But when a source is inside your body, you get ALL the radiation emitted. Old saying in working with radioactive material- time and distance are your friends.
Who emits more radiation a white body or a black body?
Good absorbers of radiation are also effective emitters. Thus, a black body, which more readily absorbs infrared radiation also emits it more readily.
What would happen to your body if you detect too much infrared radiation?
infra-red radiation only heats things up, so you wouldn't get any specific damage apart from burns
What is external radiation?
External radiation therapy, where the rays are directed from a source outside the body, is the most common mode of radiation treatment.
What do conduction and convection use that radiation does not?
a body
How does radiation help diagnosis a disease?
By the use of x radiation doctors are able to take pictures of the body. X-rays
What does electromagnetic radiation do to the human body?
It Really Depends Really On What EM Radiation It Is , Visible Light Does Nothing , Radio And Microwave Are Relatively Harmless, Too Much Of The Others Can Damage The Human Body On A Massive Scale. It Will Destroy Human Body Cells
Why can't we take too much X-rays?
You are exposed to a mild dose of radiation
Can you recover from radiation sickness?
You can become seriously ill if you do nothing about this! It can cause cancer, radiation sickness, physical deformities in your body, and your children, and yet to be born children. Please take a few precautions and stock up on a few items that can help you and your family avoid being contaminated with this radiation. Full avoidance may not be possible, but there are measures you can take if you do get exposed to some of the toxic radiation. There is one type of natural substance that can trap and detox harmful nuclear radiation from your body and water. These special radiation pills made of natural zeolites (for the body ) or Adya Clarity (for water) can very well save your health and even your life.
Can a body be immune to radiation?
No it can not.
Why are refrigerator compressors painted black?
It's because of radiation that as you know black body is an ideal radiation body for good radiation and so good heat transfer.

How much radiation is needed to go through body?
Hardly any at all. New advances in technology enable the film to be more sensitive to radiation. A chest xray has less radiation than walking to your car in the parking lot in summer.
Which type of radiation can cause the most damage to cells in the body?
neutron radiation
Can feel radiation?
It is a sick feeling. As the radiation enters your body it can sting and kill you.
What are three reasons radiation sickness symptoms vary?
Individual sensitivity Radiation dose absorbed type of radiationRadiation sickness varies based on the amount of expsure of radiation and how particular person's body reacts to the radiation poisoning. It also depends on how the radiation poisoning entered the body: Oral, inhalation or total body exposure.
Who emits more radiation a white body or a black body?
Good absorbers of radiation are also effective emitters. Thus, a black body, which more readily absorbs infrared radiation also emits it more readily.
