What else can I help you with?
How old do you have to be to have an X-ray?
yes, pretty much any one can get xrays. some people babies should not though because they may be at risk from the radiation. you should not get to many xrays because it could be a risk to your health.
What type of substance is heated by radiation?
Any substance that absorbs the radiation is heated by it.
Does radiation leave your body after having xrays?
Yes, most of the radiation used during X-rays is quickly absorbed by the body's tissues or shielded by lead aprons. Any remaining radiation is typically very low and decreases rapidly as the body eliminates it. Your body does not retain radiation from routine X-rays after the procedure is completed.
What are some examples of mutagens?
Most common mutagens:Ionizing radiation such as xrays, gamma rays and alpha particlesUltraviolet (tanning beds)Intercalating agentsBenzeneChemical spills
What type of radiation is emitted from iron when it is extremely hot?
Electromagnetic radiation in the form of thermal radiation is emitted as any substance, including iron, gets hot.
Which type of device includes any point source that emits radiation?
RED

Which type of devide includes any point source that emits radiation without?
RED

What is thermal radiation explaining it so i understand it but precisely for Year 9 assessment work?
Thermal radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation caused by the movement of charged particles in any matter.
How do x rays see through things?
Xrays pass through most substinces. Various detectors can be used to detect the ammount of xrays that are sent from one side verses what is picked up on the other side. The difference can give you information about an object. Xray radiation is created when high speed electrons hit a solid object. Basically high voltage electricity (usually 40,000 - 120,00 volts) is pushed across a gap from a cathode to an anode. The Anode is usually made of tungsten or other materials that can withstand high temperatures. The anode is usually spinning so that the target is not hit in the same spot over and over again, this allows the anode to last longer. When the high voltage hits the target it releases xray radiation. Xray radiation is invisible, but it causes some elements to glow. The best used today are rare earth elements like yttrium and gadolinium. The xrays travel through the patient's body and hit a film cassette that is treated with some of these rare earth elements and it glows wherever the xrays reach it. Some of your body blocks the xrays so the screen only glows in areas that is not entirely blocked. The thicker and more dense the body part the more xrays are blocked. Bone is very dense so it blocks more xrays than most any other tissue, so bones show up as clear areas on the film. The film is placed between these screens inside the cassette safe from regular light. So that the only light that reaches this film is the light created by the glowing elements bombarded by xray radiation. The glowing of the elements bombarded by xrays causes the film to turn black and or grey depending on the amount of xrays that are blocked. Modern xray machines have cassettes that use different phosphorus materials that keep a temporary image on the cassette then the cassette is read by a machine and creates a digital image. There is no film in these type of cassettes. This is done because more and more facilities are not using film anymore. Storing xrays is cheaper and more efficient on computer hard drives as digital xrays. Because of the digital storage of xrays some xray machines do not use cassettes at all, only digital readers.
Can you get radiation from patient undergoing treatment?
If someone say myself slept with a woman who was going through chemo treatments for breast cancer. Would I be harmed by the radiation she went through? <><><><> First, chemo is not radiation- it is chemical. It can be COMBINED with radiation. Radiation TREATMENT can take a couple of forms- radiation administered at a health care facility, and implanted sources of radiation. The first type stops when the treatment stops- no significant residual radiation. The second type involves very small quantities of radioactive materials implanted at the site to be treated. These are shielded by being inside the body. Bottom line- no you are not exposed to any significant amount of radiation. We are all exposed to tiny amounts of natural radiation simply from living- it is called background radiation. You will get more radiation from standing in sunlight for an hour than from sleeping next to your partner. I would urge you to talk with your partner's doctor- they are accustomed to answering questions.
