Is alpha ionising or non ionising?
ionising
Are microwaves ionising or non-ionising?
Ionising. Betas regularly carry a couple of million electron-volts worth of energy. The energy required to ionise an electron is typically less than 100 electron-volts.
What does ionising power mean?
Ionising power is the energy the particle has that is capable of 'knocking' electrons off an atom
What is the connection between the ionising power of radiation and its penetrating power?
Low ionising power results from great penetrating power.
How can radioactive particles create ions?
by ionising them
Is alpha ionising or non ionising?
ionising
Is gamma ionising or non ionising?
no
Are microwaves ionising or non-ionising?
Ionising. Betas regularly carry a couple of million electron-volts worth of energy. The energy required to ionise an electron is typically less than 100 electron-volts.
What is ionising?
It means they carry sufficient energy to detach electrons from atoms or molecules thereby ionising them.
What does ionising power mean?

What is the connection between the ionising power of radiation and its penetrating power?
Low ionising power results from great penetrating power.
Why are gamma rays less ionising?
it does not
How can radioactive particles create ions?
by ionising them
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
What are the dangers of non-ionising radiation?
Skin burns. Eye damage.
Describe the uses of ionising radiation used in a home?
Smoke detectors
What kills micro-organisms?
Sterilization by various means such as steam sterilization (autoclave), dry heat (hot air oven), radiation (ionising & non-ionising),chemical methods etc. kills microorganisms.
