What is lithography in vlsi and its types?
lithography is the prcess of transfering patterns of geometric shapes in a mask ina thin layer of radiation sensitive material covering the surface of a semiconductor wafer .
Who are the customers for nuclear measuring and control devices?
Most of the products shipped by the nuclear radiation detection and monitoring segment were shipped to the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, and nuclear power plants.
How do you block antenna radiation?
Radiation from an antenna can be blocked by using a simple sheet of conducting material. Aluminum foil would work. But you'd have to set things up so whatever it is you are shielding is completely in the electromagnetic shadow of the antenna. Metal screen would work, too, but you'd have to make some calculations as regards the frequency of the radiation you wish to block and the size of the openings in the screen. You can see the items in your microwave heating up, but the radiation can't get out. Same principle.
Explain the basic principle of working of radio?
Radio is the transmission of signals, by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
An example of a man made source of radiation is?
diagnostic radiation

Why is radiation detection important?
There are a number of reasons that radiation detection is important. The primary one has to do with exposure to radiation by radiation workers and others. If we have the proper detection equipment and use it appropriately, we know what's going on radiation wise and can plan accordingly. That will allow us to keep folks from getting zapped excessively, and that's very important to everyone concerned. It's for sure that we need radiation detectors around nuclear reactors to aid in early warnings that something is wrong. Any place that works with nuclear materials better have detectors operating.We also use radiation detection equipment to find "hot spots" and locate things we need to get bagged and tagged. There are still some sites where some radioactive materials have gotten "loose" and need to be recovered. In the lab, we need to identify different types of radiation and the energies associated with it, and this will let us identify which radioisotopes are emitting the radiation. This is good stuff to know if an investigator is attempting to find out what materials or substances are in a sample.There are a number of other uses for radiation detection equipment, but the primary ones have to do with protecting people who work with radioactive materials, and with having detectors at entrances and exits to nuclear facilities to prevent nuclear materials from coming in or going out. As an aside, but directly related, a worker in a facility that had nuclear materials in it set off detectors when he was coming in to work. These detectors were working properly, and it was determined in follow up investigations that the individual was being exposed to radon at home! It was a nice catch by the nuclear monitoring team.
What does alpha alpha radiation do?
It can be used for smoke detectors
Do radiation detectors pick up all of the radiation in the air?
Not necessarily. Different kinds of radiation detectors pick up different kinds of radiation. Also some radiation is of so little importance, that detectors are not designed to pick it up. An example here is UV light, which is actually low level ionizing radiation. One more thing: Radiation doesn't require air to travel. A quick example: The sun's radiation reaches earth, yet there is no air in space for it to travel through.
Describe the uses of ionising radiation used in a home?
Smoke detectors
What electromagnetic radiation is used in police speed detectors?
Police hand-held radar speed detectors are microwave transceivers operating around 10.5 GHz.
What is the stability of an atom determined?
Radioactivity is identified with radiation detection instruments.
How is ionizing radiation used?
Smoke detectors, x-rays, sterilizing items such as medical supplies.
Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug?
Gamma rays are a type of radiation. Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug.
