The film badge measures radiation exposure; an exposed film badge indicates how much radiation a worker has recieved.

What is the purpose of wearing gloves when handling radioactive isotopes?
I don't even need to answer this... obviously you don't need gloves.
What is the purpose of an insole?
The purposes of insoles vary depending on the type of insole one has. Generally, the purpose of an insole is to act as the upper-most layer of the soles and to cushion a person's foot when wearing the shoes.
Why is it safe to pick up a piece of uranium metal while wearing cotton gloves?
Natural uranium is not so radioactive; alpha radiation is retained by gloves. Beta radiation - which has not an important energy for the uranium natural isotopes - is also partially attenuated. Gamma radiation (maximal energy of ca. 183 keV) is not so dangerous at this level of energy. But note that the gloves are also a barrier against the chemical contamination with uranium; uranium is a toxic metal.
Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from exposure to which type of solar radiation Visible X-rays Infrared Ultraviolet Microwaves?
Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation emitted primarily by our sun. The ozone layer also protects us from ultraviolet rays, however the current problems with holes in the ozone layer makes wearing sunscreen almost essential if one is going to be outside for an extended period of time.
What kind of clothes would Goldilocks be wearing in the Arctic Circle?
Goldilocks would be wearing woolen clothes Bearskins
Which effect of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Mostly inhalation/ingestion of alpha emitter dust particles. These offer little protection from other types of radiation sources.
What are the best ways to protect against the effects of exposure to radiation?
Ionizing radiation is "stopped" by passing the radiation through matter which becomes ionized. By definition, ionizing radiation will ionize material that it passes through. Ionization involves transferring energy, so the entity doing the ionizing loses energy. That is the simple answer. A closer look reveals greater complexity. One needs to be clear about language to be accurate in the question and answer. Normally when referring to ionizing radiation, one is referring to high energy particles that are causing the radiation. Normally, when we say such radiation is "stopped" we mean it is diminished to that the harmful effects are insignificant. One does not "stop" such radiation but rather one causes it to lose energy. There will always be a few stray particles with high energy even after the vast majority have lost so much energy that ionization has stopped occurring. If one wants to "stop" ionizing radiation, then creating a large enough (thick enough) barrier will effectively reduce the radiation to insignificance. Of course, depending on the nature of the radiation, some materials may be more effective than others in removing the energy from the radiation. Though ionization, i.e. exicting or removing electrons of atoms, is an important energy loss process, there are also processes that involve the interaction of the ionizing radiation with the nuclei of the material through which it passes. Bremsstrahlung is one such process and so is simple transfer of kinetic energy from the incident particle to the particle in the material. These kinds of processes are larger or smaller depending on the mass and energy of the "ionizing radiation" and so an effective discussion of how well a material can "stop" ionizing radiation depends on the ionizing radiation itself.
What is the purpose of wearing masks in The Cask of Amontillado?
there is no purpose
Radiation sickness can be prevented by?
Wearing a NBC or Hazmat suit
Which type of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Alpha or beta radiation
What effect of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
alpha or beta radiation
What is the main purpose of wearing bright cloured?
The main purpose of wearing bright colors is to be identifiable in the dark even when the lights are not appropriate
What is the purpose for wearing Poland costumes?
To be Polish?
What are the purpose of wearing clothes?
to express indivduality
What is the purpose of wearing a shirt?
The purpose is keeping us covered and warm. Another purpose of wearing a shirt is if you're a female, another purpose is to cover yourselves from showing too much parts. (That's all I know)
How can to protect yourself from radiation?
You can protect yourself from radiation by wearing gloves and a mask. It is also helpful to stay away from areas that are contaminated by radiation. The only way to be 100% sure you will not be affected by radiation is to wear a radiation suit.
Why is hotter when wearing a black shirt?
the light attracts to black so it makes it hotter Black objects are black because they absorb all the visible radiation that falls on it. That light is then converted into infrared radiation which is essentially heat. White reflects radiation so you are cooler wearing white.
