What else can I help you with?
Describe the uses of ionising radiation used in a home?
Smoke detectors
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 the term used to describe elements that give out ionising radiation?
Radioactive elements.
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.
What is a good stopper of ionizing radiation?
If by ionising radiation you mean alpha radiation (the most ionising out of alpha, beta and gamma radiation) then about a millimetre of paper would stop it. alpha radiation ionises the molecules of anything it reaches, but can pass through very few things due to its immense ionising power. This includes human tissue, but in all honesty, a large dose of alpha radiation wouldn't do human tissue alot of good. In short, almost any material can stop ionising radiation.
What are some examples of non ionising radiation?
mobile/cell phones microwaves radiation power lines
How is regulation irmer applied in mri department?
The IR in IRMER stands for Ionising Radiation to which the regulation relates. MRI does not employ Ionising radiation so as far as I am aware the regulation doesn't apply to MRI.
Is alpha ionising or non ionising?
Alpha particles are ionizing radiation because they have a positive charge and can remove electrons from atoms they interact with, causing ionization. This can damage living tissues if exposure is significant.
Why is the waste produced from a nuclear reaction harmful?
Because it emits ionising radiation
What is a ionising and non-ionising radiation?
heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements
Is Infrared ionising or non ionising?
Infrared radiation is non-ionizing, which means it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. It is considered low-energy electromagnetic radiation that can generate heat in tissues but does not have enough energy to cause ionization.
What is the danger of nuclear radiation?
Ionising radiation from Alpha, Beta and Gamma emissions (from radioactive materials) are harmful to most organs of the body.
