What type of heat transfer occurs when you get a sunburn?
RadiationNot really. Sunburn is not caused by heat at all, but by overexposure to ultra-violet (specifically UV-B) radiation. It causes damage directly to the DNA rather than heat damage to the skin.While the answer 'radiation' is technically correct as UV is a type of radiation, sunburn is not caused by heat transfer at all.
Which type of radiation can cause the most damage to the cells in the body?
The strongest type of radiation of course.
Which type of radiation can cause the most damage to cells in the body?
neutron radiation
What type of poisoning was caused by the atomic fallout?
Radiation
Which type of anemia is related to radiation damage?
Aplastic Anemia
What factors determine the extent of radiation damage?
The amount of exposure (measured in rads or rems), the duration of exposure, and the type of radiation you are exposted to determine the extent of the damage.
What type of damage is caused by an volcano eruption?
the answer is Puyehue.
Which type of radiation is most likely to damage DNA ionizing or nonionizing?
Ionizing
What is the most common type of damage done to cells by radiation?
ionization
What type of radiation is not absorbed by the ozone layer and can cause a lot of damage to your bodies?
UV is absorbed by ozone. It is fatal radiation of the sun.
What type of a burn is a laser burn?
radiationA little more...Technically, this answer is true -- LASER burns are "radiation" burns, most frequently in the visual light or infra-red parts of the EM spectrum. However, we tend to associate the term "radiation burn" with the burns resulting prompt radiation, beta or gamma emmissions, and other radiological phenomenon, all of which require special HAZMAT protocols. This is not the case in the vast majority of LASER burns in this day and age. For instance, DECON procedures are not required in the case of LASER burns. ** More correctly... **A laser burn is a THERMAL burn, similar to that from focusing the sun with a magnifying glass. The frequency of the light (colour) will alter the characteristics of the burn, but the results are basically the same."Laser Radiation" is incorrectly associated with nuclear radiation, but is completely different. The word "radiation" is often misunderstood as being "the scary stuff from nuclear reactors". Radiation (radiate) simply means "to give off", it refers to any electromagnetic energy (sound radiation, heat radiation, light radiation and nuclear radiation).
What type of radiation may be stopped by protective clothing and a mask and can damage skin and produce a burn similar to a thermal burn?
Beta Radiation
