What else can I help you with?
Would you classify radiation as ionizing radiation?
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.
Does removing body hair with laser cause cancer?
No. Laser hair removal uses non-ionizing radiation (which means it doesn't damage DNA) so it can't cause cancer. We're surrounded by ionizing radiation every day. Other examples of non-ionizing radiation include visible light and radio waves.
Is sun rays ionising radiation or non ionising?
Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.
What is nonionizing radiation?
Ionizing radiation causes some of the atoms it strikes to be ionized. There are several different types: alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons, gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet light. Non-ionizing radiation, which does not ionize atoms, includes visible light, infrared light, radio waves, and so on.To understand the biological effects of radiation we must first understand the difference between ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. In general, two things can happen when radiation is absorbed by matter: excitation or ionization.Excitation occurs when the radiation excites the motion of the atoms or molecules, or excites an electron from an occupied orbital into an empty, higher-energy orbital.Ionization occurs when the radiation carries enough energy to remove an electron from an atom or molecule.Because living tissue is 70-90% water by weight, the dividing line between radiation that excites electrons and radiation that forms ions is often assumed to be equal to the ionization of water: 1216 kJ/mol. Radiation that carries less energy can only excite the water molecule. It is therefore called non-ionizing radiation. Radiation that carries more energy than 1216 kJ/mol can remove an electron from a water molecule, and is therefore called ionizing radiation.Related links are provided below.
What are the 2 names of radiation?
There are two main types of radiation: External Radiation External radiation is the most common type of radiation, typically given after lumpectomy and sometimes, mastectomy. Internal Radiation Internal radiation is a less common method of giving radiation. It is being studied for use after lumpectomy.
What does the radiation include?
Radiation includes energy in the form of particles or waves. It can be ionizing, which has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, or non-ionizing, which does not have enough energy to do so. Examples of radiation include gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, and radio waves.
Is radio radiation ionising or non ionising?
Radio radiation is non-ionizing, meaning it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. This type of radiation is generally considered less harmful to human health compared to ionizing radiation.
Are there greater ionizing or non-ionizing industrial hazards in the US?
The use of ionizing radiation in the American workplace has been substantially reduced during the last 30-40 years. As a result of that reduction, have the hazards of non-ionizing radiation used in the workplace become greater than the remaining hazards of ionizing radiation still in use? There are no readily accessible studies to tell us whether or not that has happened, and mostly it does not matter. The important thing is to deal correctly with all the radiation hazards, ionizing and non-ionizing, that are present in each particular workplace.
Is UV visible and IR range considered non ionizing radiation?
No of course not.answ2. Light and heat are ordinary EM (electromagnetic) radiation.Ionizing radiation is sufficiently energetic to remove parts of an atom, and to thus ionize it.The UV from sunshine may damage the molecular bonds, but this is not ionizing radiation.
What are the differences between ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation in terms of their effects on human health and the environment?
Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, causing damage to cells and DNA, which can lead to cancer and other health issues. Non-ionizing radiation, on the other hand, does not have enough energy to ionize atoms and is generally considered to have less harmful effects on human health and the environment.
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.
What are the two ways of radiation?
two ways of radiation are the sun because its heat travels in electromagnetic waves and radiates the earth and an electric radiator because it heat will radiate whatever it is heating just like the sun will
