What are some possible test that you can do to identify the radiation emitted by the uranium salt?

There are multiple instrumentation types capable of detecting radiation. The Geiger Counter is one such device capable of detecting radiation emissions from uranium and other radioactive materials/sources.


Why are film badges unsuitable for detecting alpha particle radiation?

Alpha can not make it through the badge holder to the film. This reason makes the film badges unsuitable for detecting alpha particle radiation.


Why are infrared radiations used in detecting enemy concentration?

Infrared radiatyion is used in detecting enemy concentrations because Infrared radiation is not visible and in the meantime there are devices that can transfer its pictures and views into visible pictures and views.In the meantime, infrared radiation has no passive impact on personnel dealing with contrary to ultraviolet radiation.


What are radio receivers?

They are sold commercially a "radios". They are machines for detecting electromagnetic radiation in the "radio" part of the spectrum.


I was wondering is it possible to identify an object by detecting what wavelengths of radiation it emits. For example would a ball emit radiation of wavelengths x y and z?

The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of re-radiated heat.


Which radiation detector is independent of particle A- wilson cloud chamber B- GM tube C- solid state detector D- all?

The Wilson Chamber has the radiation independent of the particle. This is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.


What types of clouds can be made in a cloud chamber?

A cloud chamber do not actually form clouds. It is a device that is used for detecting particles of ionizing radiation.


Are alpha particles suitable for detecting underground leaks in pipes?

Alpha particles are simple helium nuclei, and form the bulk of ionizing radiation. However, since alpha particles are much larger and heavier than beta radiation (electrons) and gamma radiation (photons), they are easily blocked by lightweight solids, such as paper. Therefore, they would be a poor means of detecting underground leaks in pipes, since they would not travel well through dense ground or metal.

What instrument is used to detect radiation?

A Geiger counter detects the amount of radioactive decay. For example alpha and beta partials.


Does a mammogram use radiation?

Yes, a mammogram uses a small amount of radiation to create images of the breast tissue for screening and diagnostic purposes. The benefits of mammograms in detecting breast cancer early typically outweigh the risks associated with this low level of radiation exposure.
