What is the procedure of what keeps things colder plastic wrap or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil it seals the cold in alot more than plastic wrap.ans2, RIGHT answer, but reason not quite correct. The shiny aluminum will reflect all heat.And since your package is cold, the only ways it can heat up are conduction, radiation, and convection. Of which three, Aluminum foil will stop radiation and largely stop convection.
What is the element used to make the shields at the dentist?
Lead is used in the shields at the dentist to stop x-ray radiation used to take pictures of your teeth from passing through the organs in your chest and torso.
Why is radioactive iodine dangerous to humans?
Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy to ionize or remove electrons from an atom. When atoms in living cells become ionized one of three things usually happen - the cell dies, the cell repairs itself, or the cell mutates incorrectly and can become cancerous. Not all cells are affected by ionizing radiation in the same way. The cells that reproduce the most and are the least specialized are the most likely to be affected by ionizing radiation, for example those in a forming fetus. Radiation is effective as a cancer treatment because it can kill the cancer cells, however it can also kill or damage nearby cells. When radiation is used to treat cancer it must be pinpointed very carefully.
Which type of radiation can penetrate a thin piece of lead?
Yes, but anything will block all radiation, if you use enough of it. Lead, being very dense, is very efficient in blocking most radiation even in fairly modest thicknesses. For example, when you go to the dentist for an X-ray, the radiologist covers you with a lead-foil apron.The very best material to block radiation, in terms of cost, is about a half-mile thickness of dirt. Cheap, and very effective. However, it is difficult to transport. Some types of radiation, like alpha particles, can be blocked very effectively by a sheet of paper. Electromagnetic radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays requires a material with high density to block it.
How long will the reserves of coal last in China?
maybe not for a long time because of the plant bombs happening there so there might not be no more coals because of these bombs. thats why we need to put a stop to these harmful things. also the nuclear radiation has a harmful effect on the earth. think before you do!!!
How can I stop my mentally unstable wife from taking the children?
If the law thought she was so mentally unstable they wouldn't have allowed her custody. but seeing that she has them she obviously isn't as unstable as you think she is.
When a star becomes a black dwarf it?
In that case, it will basically stop emitting any radiation. No star has had time so far to become a black dwarf - the Universe is too young for that. This is because it takes a white dwarf a long, long time to cool down.
What can be blocked with a sheet of paper?
A lot of things, but I think you might be referring to which form of radiation since this is the classic answer as to what would stop Alpha radiation. Furthermore tinfoil would stop alpha and beta radiation and lead would stop alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
Why sine wave is unstable at low frequency?
The sine wave at low frequency is unstable because it can create strong currents that nobody can stop them from
What we can do for radiation exposure?
help me to stop it. It is pulsed radiation that comes into my home and onto my property .
Which type of heat transfer does fiberglass insulation in a dishwasher mainly stop?
radiation
Why is lead used in the walls of x ray rooms?
lead can stop the radiation from getting outside the room lead can stop the radiation from getting outside the room
When a solid is heated it emits electromagnetic radiation known as An example of such radiation is the element of a stove stop burning bright red?
blackbody radiation
If the ex is mentally unstable can you keep him from seeing your child?
unless he has been abusive towards the child you cant stop him from seeing his child. but if mentally unstable maybe with supervision
What material is frequently used to stop radiation?
Lead
How does lead aprons stop radiation?
lead is a very dense material and can stop most radiation particles, although it is still dangerous as some gamma rays may get through.
Why an isotope with a half life of 7 years might not be a good choice for a tracer element used to diagnose illness?
It is only needed to be present in the body for the time it takes for the scans to be completed. After that you want the radioactive material to stop emitting radiation in your body pretty quickly or your cells will start to feel the negative effects or die.
