What are the 2 names of radiation?
There are two main types of radiation: External Radiation External radiation is the most common type of radiation, typically given after lumpectomy and sometimes, mastectomy. Internal Radiation Internal radiation is a less common method of giving radiation. It is being studied for use after lumpectomy.
Which type of radiation can only be stopped by a thick lead sheet or very thick concrete?
Gamma radiation
Which type of device includes any point source that emits radiation without dispersing radioactive material across an area?
what describes the standard hazard marking for biological hazards
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
Because of its low penetrating ability the type of radiation which is usually only a hazard when inhaled or ingested is?
Alpha Radiation
What is radiochemical hazard?
A radio chemical hazard is a hazard where the chemicals involved emit radiation. This type of hazard is more common when dealing with fuel rods used in nuclear reactors.

What type of radiation is only a hazard when inhaled or ingested?
Although there are many forms of "radiation" when assessing radiation hazards we usually think in terms of just three forms of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Of these, alpha radiation is only a hazard if a source is inhaled or ingested - the other two are a hazard even without inhalation or ingestion. In general, external alpha radiation is not harmful since alpha particles are effectively shielded by a few centimeters of air, a piece of paper, or the thin layer of dead skin cells. On the other hand, if you inhale or ingest an alpha emitter, it can cause significant damage if the radiation is intense enough. Beta particles (electrons) are more penetrating, but still can be absorbed by a few millimeters of aluminum. Whatever harm beta radiation can cause, it doesn't have to be inhaled or ingested to do it. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating - that's the kind of radiation we usually think of using lead to shield us from. Again, gamma radiation is a hazard whether or not you inhale or ingest it.
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur?
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur through vacuum (space with no particles).
Which type of radiation can only be stopped by a thick lead sheet or very thick concrete?
Gamma radiation

Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?
Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.

Can radiation be detected because it ionizes the atoms it affects?
Ionizing radiation is only one type of radiation. Visible light, for example, falls under the category of electromagnetic radiation. Radiation has many different detectable consequences.
The only type of electromagnetic radiation we can see is?
Visible-- waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see.
