Other than visible light used to scan the original to be copied, some heat, and the kind of very low and extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by all electrical devices, photocopiers do not emit radiation.

Is radiation a measure of the average kineic energy of the particles in an object?
No, radiation is not a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object. Radiation refers to the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or particles from a source. The energy of radiation can vary depending on the type and source, and it is not directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.
How much natural radiation is the average person exposed to in a year?
About 100 millirem.
Why is the shortest wavelength of visible light 400nm?
Because the average human being has no receptors on the retinas of his eyes that respond to electromagnetic waves that are shorter than that.
Name the north south latitude that receives least sunrays?
-- The north latitude that receives the least total incident solar radiation on the average over a year is 90° North. That's the location of the north pole. -- The south latitude that receives the least total incident solar radiation on the average over a year is 90° South. That's the location of the south pole.
What are some radioactive elements in cannabis?
A recent study shows that many commonly used fertilizers are high in radioactive elements. The study was performed by Dr Paul Hornby, who holds a master’s degree in biochemistry and a PhD in human pathology from the University of British Columbia. The study analyzed 25 different types of fertilizers, seven “organic” varieties and 18 “chemical” fertilizers. The results showed that the chemical fertilizers emitted on average five times the radiation of the organic group. There are different ways of measuring radioactivity. The chart below shows the “counts per minute” (CPM) of radiation detected in each sample. The average for the organic fertilizers was 140, while the chemical fertilizers had an average radiation count of 675, an almost five-fold increase. The lowest radiation was found in the organic blood meal fertilizers, which emitted only background radiation ? the normal low radiation found in most objects. On the other end of the spectrum was the 5-20-20 berry food, with a radiation level about 24 times higher than background.
What is the average wavelength of the microwave?
a few centimeters
Do X-Ray exist?
They definitely do exist. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light, radio waves, microwaves, etc) with a wavelength of 10 - 0.01 nanometers, or about 100 times shorter than visible light on average. X-rays can be generated by machines used in medicine, and are also part of background radiation in the cosmos. Over exposure can be very dangerous; many governments set limits on the amount of x-rays that an individual can safety be exposed to in a given time period. Happy Science : )
What is average value in alternate voltage?
The term is 'alternating voltage', not 'alternate voltage'. For an a.c. voltage or current, the average value is taken over half its wavelength because, over a complete wavelength it is, of course, zero. For a sine wave, the average value (over half a wavelength) is 0.637 Vmax or 0.637 Imax.
What is the average payout on slots machines?
The average payout on slots machines differ from state to state. In Ohio the average payout is 90%. In New York the average pay out is 91% - 92%. In New Mexico the average payout is about 80%.
What is the average distance between a wave peaks?
That's called the wavelength.

What is average weight of washing machines?
40 kg
What is the average price for laser hair removal machines?
The average price of laser hair removal machines varies according to multiple factors, such as type, brand, quality (where it was produced), but on average it costs about 1175 dollars each.
What was your average wavelength when the waves had a 10cm amplitude?
There isn't any. The amplitude gives no information about the frequency or wavelength, and is completely unrelated to them.
What simple machines are usually found in average homes and what are they?
scissors, bikes, blenders, beaters, lawn mowers, toasters, sewing machines,computers, fridges/fressers, washing machines, drying machines and much more.
What is the amount of the average background radiation in millirems?
300 millirems
How much radiation is an average person in the USA exposed to each year?
According to NCRP Report #93, "Ionizing Radiation Exposure of the Population of the United States" (1987) the average exposure is about 295 mRem of Natural Background Radiation and about 63 mRem from Manmade Radiation (medical + consumer products) . Most (about 67%) of the natural background radiation is from inhaling Radon gas.
