What term is used to describe the fact that electromagnetic radiation can be thought of as either a continuous wave or as a stream of individual packets of energy?
wave-particle duality
How is radiation used in your lives?
You use radiation in microwaves
Beta radiation used rather than alpha or gamma radiation in this paper thickness equipment?
beta radiation used in this paper thickness equipment because alpha and gamma are very strong radiation which can not be used for paper thickness equipment such as paper are used by every one and it could cause radiation if other nuclear radiation like alpha and gamma are used.
How is infrared radiation is used in everyday life?
infrared radiation in used in everyday life because of heat.
What is Radiation used in a sentence?
Spiderman was endowed with superpowers because of radiation.
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 is Radiation that is not a particle?
Radiation will always remain a particle so long as it doesn't come in contact with MOST direct sunlight, or water. In that case, water becomes irradiated and the Particle becomes part of the water..answer 2 electromagnetic radiation - radio waves do not involve particles. Sound waves, heat, and UV light etc also are radiation. 'Radiation' is also used in biology, to describe the spread .
A geiger counter measures radiation indirectly by measuring?
Levels of radioactivity are measured by a Geiger counter. Hans Geiger and Walter Muller created a practical radiation counter in 1928.
What term is used to describe the fact that electromagnetic radiation can be thought of as either a continuous wave or as a stream of individual packets of energy?
wave-particle duality
What is Geiger meter?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They are notable for being used to detect if objects emit nuclear radiation.
What were the German K5 railway cannons used for?
It was used for heavy artillery bombardment.
What is a Geiger counters used for?
It is used to measure radiation and is commonly used to detect objects that produce nuclear radiation.
What are three kinds of radioactivity?
The three major types of radioactivity are: # Alpha Radiation Alpha radiation consists of a stream of positively charged particles, called alpha particles, which have an atomic mass of 4 and a charge of +2 (a helium nucleus). When an alpha particle is ejected from a nucleus, the mass number of the nucleus decreases by four units and the atomic number decreases by two units. For example: 23892U -> 42He + 23490Th The helium nucleus is the alpha particle. # Beta Radiation Beta radiation is a stream of electrons, called beta particles. When a beta particle is ejected, a neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton, so the mass number of the nucleus is unchanged, but the atomic number increases by one unit. For example: 23490 -> 0-1e + 23491Pa The electron is the beta particle. # Gamma Radiation Gamma rays are high-energy photons with a very short wavelength (0.0005 to 0.1 nm). The emission of gamma radiation results from an energy change within the atomic nucleus. Gamma emission changes neither the atomic number nor the atomic mass. Alpha and beta emission are often accompanied by gamma emission, as an excited nucleus drops to a lower and more stable energy state. Alpha, beta, and gamma radiation also accompany induced radioactivity. Radioactive isotopes are prepared in the lab using bombardment reactions to convert a stable nucleus into one which is radioactive. Positron (particle with the same mass as an electron, but a charge of +1 instead of -1) emission isn't observed in natural radioactivity, but it is a common mode of decay in induced radioactivity. Bombardment reactions can be used to produce very heavy elements, including many which don't occur in nature.Submitted by kuasimodo
How is particle used in a sentence?
I have a dust particle lodged in my left eye.
Are balloons used to protect anything?
Yes. In WW2 barrage balloons were used to protect cities from aircraft bombardment.
How is radiation used in the making of bombs?
The radiation comes from the material used.
Why is radiation used to treat cancer?
radiation
