What form of radiation is the most penatrating?
Gamma rays are by far the most penetrating of the three types of radiation.
What radiation is most penetrating?
The gamma radiation is extremely penetrant.
How does ionizing radiation works for sterilixe insects?
Ionizing radiation is a method of area wide pest control management. Ionizing radiation works by making insects unable to reproduce (sterile). Gamma radiation is most often used for this task, though sometimes high energy electrons or X-rays are used.
What wave has the most penetrating radiation found in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Gamma waves :D
What are the dangers of neutron radiation?
Neutron radiation is as dangerous as any other ionizing radiation, if not more dangerous,as by some sources, it can be as many as ten times more dangerous as other ionizing radiation. It is not directly ionizing radiation, since neutrons do not hold electric charge, but they interact (collide) with nuclei in it's path, creating isotopes, most of the time non-sable, radioactive isotopes. That is why neutron radiation induces a secondary radiation in the material it passes through. The penetration of neutron flux is rather strong, and is not affected by the shield density, as is the case with gamma radiation, but rather by a material rich with Hydrogen (deuterium) atoms, since H atoms contain one single proton/neutron, and the collision physics slow down the neutrons in this matter most efficiently. Therefore, heavy water, plexiglass, plastics and similar materials are used as an effective shield in neutron radiation protection.
What is the most common mutagen?
Ionizing radiation is the most common form of mutagen.
What form of radiation is the most penatrating?
Gamma rays are by far the most penetrating of the three types of radiation.
Which of the three kinds of radiation is most penetrating?
Gamma ray, by far. Alfa can be blocked by as little as a piece of notebook paper, buy Gamma (from sources such as a reactor core) will pass through 6 feet for stailsteel-lined concrete and can give a leathal dose in as little as 20 minutes.
Which type of radiation is most likely to damage DNA ionizing or nonionizing?
Ionizing
What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?
An alpha particle
What radiation is most penetrating?
The gamma radiation is extremely penetrant.
What ist he most penetrating form of nuclear radiation?
Gamma rays .It can penetrate several cm of lead.
Which type of radiation is most penetrating in solid substances?
Gamma radiation
How does ionizing radiation works for sterilixe insects?
Ionizing radiation is a method of area wide pest control management. Ionizing radiation works by making insects unable to reproduce (sterile). Gamma radiation is most often used for this task, though sometimes high energy electrons or X-rays are used.
What is the forms of radiation is the most penetrating?
Of all the three types of radiation (alpha, beta and gamma), Gamma rays are the most penetrating, being able to travel through a few meters of lead.
What material is most resistant to the penetration of ionizing radiation?
For example lead, uranium, composites with boron.
What wave has the most penetrating radiation found in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Gamma waves :D
