What are 5 different types of radiation and which are the most dangerous?
Alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, neutron.
What type of radiation does a nuclear reactor emit?
A safe reactor don't emit a significant or dangerous quantity of any radiation. But in the core of the reactor all the types of nuclear radiations are emitted.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
What is the type of spectrum of all types of radiation called?
There are different types of radiation; you may be referring to the electromagnetic radiation.
Why radiation is dangerous?
Radiation, which comes in a couple of harmful forms, can be either electromagnetic or particulate. The dangerous electromagnetic radiation includes X-rays and the more potent gamma rays. Particulate radiation takes a number of forms which include alpha, beta, proton and neutron radiation. All these forms of radiation are what are called ionizing radiation. The ability of this radiation to penetrate varies, but the energies carried by ionizing radiation can damage genetic material within cells. This can result in cellular damage, mutation or even the death of the cell. Biologic material is seriously threatened by these types of radiation, and exposure should be minimized if not completely eliminated.
What rays are dangerous to living things?
Death rays. Most types of radiation is dangerous, even the UV that makes it though the atmosphere. However, a human body can cope with a level or incoming radiation. Higher energy rays, such as gamma and x-rays are much more damaging, but fortunately they do not penetrate the atmosphere very well.
What types of radiation should you be worried about?
The most dangerous type of radiation is Nuclear radiation which is the one that should be most worried about.
Why is gamma ray radiation the best suited to use?
Gamma-rays are extremely high-energy photons and VERY dangerous. It is the worse form of atomic radiation of the 3 types of radioactive decay, and destroys living tissue and DNA.
How does the earth's atmosphere protect living organism from certain types of electromagnetic radiation?
be far from those radiation
What are four types of living things?
the four types of living things is animals,plants,people,matters
Certain types of cancer can be caused by radiation and others cured by radiation?
Yes, this is true as there are diforant types of cancer. Some are more dangerous than others. I hope this makes you understand, thanks!
What types of radiation does the universe allow to pass through?
Radiation can pass easily through space. It is the earth's atmosphere that protects us from dangerous levels.
Ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B are the two types of radiation form sunlight only uva is dangerous?
no.. both are
What are 5 different types of radiation and which are the most dangerous?
Alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, neutron.
What is beta radiation properties?
Beta particles or radiation is an electron emitted at high speed or energy from some types of unstable elements in a process known as beta-decay. Beta radiation is not healthy for living things. It is usually stopped by a few millimeters of metal, wood, or plastic. Direct exposure to the skin can cause radiation burns.
What are the different types of living things?
yes the is
What types of living things have chloroplasts?
plants
