What is Nonvisible radiation?
Non-visible radiation is any radiation that you can't see. It includes radio, microwave, infrared, heat, ultraviolet, X-rays, alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
What type of radiation is the most prevalent in the radiation zone?
X-Rays
What energy is ultraviolet rays?
Ultraviolet rays, or radiation, is a type of electromagnetic waves.
Do X-rays consist of radiation similar to gamma rays?
Both X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation, so yes, the radiation is similar. It's the same type of radiation, in fact.In older sources you may see X-rays listed as having longer wavelengths (and lower energy) than gamma rays, but in modern usage the wavelengths of the two overlap to a degree. The general distinction is that electromagnetic radiation emitted by an atomic nucleus is a "gamma ray" and electromagnetic radiation emitted by an electron outside the nucleus is an "X-ray" even if the two have the same wavelength.
What is Nonvisible radiation?
Non-visible radiation is any radiation that you can't see. It includes radio, microwave, infrared, heat, ultraviolet, X-rays, alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays.
What radiation is not used for communication?
Gamma rays, x-rays, UV radiation and so on.
Radiation can come from the sun and where else?
Radiation can come in two forms: particles and waves. Radiation can come from the sun, gamma rays, UV rays, radio waves, and X-rays.
How does radiation helps in X-rays?
Xrays are radiation.
What types of radiation has no mass?
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays)
What does the atmosphere do to some of the radiation?
It absorbs some of the radiation. The radiation is UV rays.
What is example of mutagenic agent?
Radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays and ultraviolet light are examples of mutagens.
Are thegamma and alfa rays electromagnetic radiation?
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
What has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
Are the X-rays and gamma rays transverse?
yes, as it is an electromagnetic radiation.
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
