What is it called when substances give off light or another form of electromagntic radiation when they absorb energy?
It is called fluorescence or phosphorescence. This phenomenon occurs when a substance absorbs energy in the form of light or other electromagnetic radiation and then emits light at a different wavelength.
What are some of the better radiation therapy schools?
If you are interested in taking a couple courses on radiation therapy, then there are many different kinds of schools that offer different courses in radiation therapy.
Why is different shielding appropriate for different kinds of radiation?
The absorption of radiation is different for each shielding material and type of radiation.
What forms of radiation are used medically?
There are three kinds of radiation useful to medical personnel: alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Which of the waves below is not part of the electromagntic spectrum?
None is, since there are no waves below.
Do radiation detectors pick up all of the radiation in the air?
Not necessarily. Different kinds of radiation detectors pick up different kinds of radiation. Also some radiation is of so little importance, that detectors are not designed to pick it up. An example here is UV light, which is actually low level ionizing radiation. One more thing: Radiation doesn't require air to travel. A quick example: The sun's radiation reaches earth, yet there is no air in space for it to travel through.
What are the three kinds of radiation?
· Alpha - a helium nucleus · Beta - a high speed electron · Gamma - an electromagnetic radiation of wavelength about 10-14 m.
How can radiation cure some types of cancer?
The main scooby dooby on this is that the bioligical damage done to some kinds of cells by exposure to radiation is greater than others. And we frequently see that cancer cells will "take more hits" and die if irradiated than many kinds of "regular" cells will. Radiation (either electromagnetic or particulate) causes ionization in tissue when it is of sufficient energy. A microwave oven will not cause this, but higher energy electromagnetic waves will cause it. So will particulate radiation. The chemical bonds that hold DNA together can be broken by ionizing radiation, and this kind of damage is difficult (if not impossible) for the cell to repair. If we can damage a large number of cancer cells with a minimum of damage to surrounding tissue, radiation therapy can be prescribed for the treatment of some kinds of malignant neoplasms.
What kinds of visible radiation are included in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible radiation (light): 380-760 nm (or 790-400THz)
What type of energy is the sum of the two kinds that are in all objects?
Radiation.
