gamma rays
Gamma radiation can penetrate the deepest into exposed materials. This is because gamma rays have the highest penetrating power among the three types of ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma). Gamma rays can pass through most materials, including metals and concrete, making them particularly hazardous.
Hospitals using cobalt radiation typically shield the treatment room with dense materials, such as lead or concrete, to prevent radiation exposure to staff and patients. Additional shielding may be used in the walls, floors, and ceiling of the treatment room to minimize radiation leakage to adjacent areas. Regular maintenance and monitoring of shielding integrity are essential to ensure optimal safety.
Materials that are considered incombustible include mineral wool, gypsum board, concrete, and steel. These materials have high fire resistance and do not ignite easily when exposed to high temperatures or flames.
No, styrene is not UV resistant and can degrade when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This can result in discoloration, brittleness, and reduced strength in styrene-based materials. It is important to protect styrene products from prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV radiation.
The term 'dirty' bomb - refers to a device that is contaminated with either radiation or pathogens. When the device explodes, it spreads the contamination over a wide area. It can be as simple as a grenade that's been exposed to radiation.
go onto google images and type in 'radiation diagram' look at second image with a cartoon sun in it- for that would be your answer
gamma
Whenever your exposed to radiation...
False. The chances of survival for a person exposed to radiation depend on the type, dose, and duration of exposure. Treatment and medical interventions can help improve survival rates for individuals exposed to radiation.
is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light.
Radiation pneumonitis is in relation to being exposed to radiation, therefore the only way another person could get this inflammation of the lungs is by having their person exposed to radiation as well.
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.
being exposed to radiation could cause cancer.
That depends on type of radiation, dosage, and area exposed.
Cosmic rays
If you are exposed to it too long.
The Thermosphere
Usually nothing.
