What is unique about receiving a dose of neutron radiation and an equivalent dose of other types of radiation either ionizing or nonionizing?
EcclesJordanTrigger
The neutron radiation can turn stable elements in your body to radioactive isotopes (called neutron activation). This makes you radioactive in a way that cannot be removed by any attempt at decontamination. No other type of radiation can do this.

Which one of the following is physical stressor lead ionizing radiation hcv or hbv?
ionizing radiation
What type of radiation is best detected by a scintillation counter?
Ionizing radiation
Which ionizing radiation is least penetrating?
alpha
How does ionizing radiation works for sterilixe insects?
Ionizing radiation is a method of area wide pest control management. Ionizing radiation works by making insects unable to reproduce (sterile). Gamma radiation is most often used for this task, though sometimes high energy electrons or X-rays are used.
What form of ionizing radiation causes radiodermatitis?
alpha
Which type of radiation is most likely to damage DNA ionizing or nonionizing?
Ionizing
What has the author H Moseley written?
H. Moseley has written: 'Non-ionising radiation' -- subject(s): Hospitals, Lasers, Microwaves, Nonionizing radiation, Physiological effect, Radiation, Non-Ionizing, Safety measures, Ultraviolet Rays
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Would you classify radiation as ionizing radiation?
Yes, but there are a number of radiation besides ionizing radiation.
What is the SI derived unit of radiation dose equivalent?
The sievert is the SI derived unit of ionizing radiation dose. The Sv is its abbreviation.
Which one of the following is physical stressor lead ionizing radiation hcv or hbv?
ionizing radiation
What is it called when x-ray are initially absorbed by the body?
ionizing radiation
Discuss the effects of ionizing radiation on cellular constituents?
what are the effects of ionizing radiation on cellular constituents
What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?
An alpha particle
What is nonionizing radiation?
Ionizing radiation causes some of the atoms it strikes to be ionized. There are several different types: alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons, gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet light. Non-ionizing radiation, which does not ionize atoms, includes visible light, infrared light, radio waves, and so on.To understand the biological effects of radiation we must first understand the difference between ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. In general, two things can happen when radiation is absorbed by matter: excitation or ionization.Excitation occurs when the radiation excites the motion of the atoms or molecules, or excites an electron from an occupied orbital into an empty, higher-energy orbital.Ionization occurs when the radiation carries enough energy to remove an electron from an atom or molecule.Because living tissue is 70-90% water by weight, the dividing line between radiation that excites electrons and radiation that forms ions is often assumed to be equal to the ionization of water: 1216 kJ/mol. Radiation that carries less energy can only excite the water molecule. It is therefore called non-ionizing radiation. Radiation that carries more energy than 1216 kJ/mol can remove an electron from a water molecule, and is therefore called ionizing radiation.Related links are provided below.
