Why workers work far from the source of radiation?
Radiation is dangerous ... Too much kills but even small amounts may eventually cause cancer. Radiation levels decrease as does gravity with the square of the distance from the source. At twice the distance, the rad level becomes 1/4 th as much.
Is electromagnetic radiation weaker when you are further from the source?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation weakens as you move further away from the source because it follows the inverse square law, which means the intensity of radiation decreases with the square of the distance from the source. So, the further you are from the source, the weaker the radiation will be.
What is the relationship between the intensity of the radiation given off from a radiation source and distance from the radiation source?
The source doesn't care how far you are from it, or whether you're even there, andthere's no relationship between that and the intensity of the radiation it gives off.However, the intensity of the radiation that you receivefrom it is inversely proportionalto the square of your distance from it ... same math as for gravity.
What happens if you move twice as far away from the irradiated area of the patient?
Doubling the distance between yourself and a radiation source will result in you experiencing 1/4th the radiation to which you were exposed in your original position. It's the square of the distance rule.
What does the uniformity of this radiation imply about its source?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide details as to what kind of radiation "this" radiation is. Please restate the question, giving more specific details.
What does the far end of infared radiation do for us?
What can radiation do to us?
How do you handle radioactive sources safely?
it is a good idea to wear thick gloves and to stay as far away from the source as possible to minimise the amount of radiation that can reach you
How much radiation does a nuclear reactor produce?
A nuclear reactor produces different types of radiation, including gamma rays and neutron radiation. The amount of radiation produced varies depending on the reactor's design, operation, and fuel type, but strict safety measures are in place to protect workers and the environment from excessive radiation exposure.
Why must telescopes observing at far- infrared wavelengths be cool to low temperatures?
Far infrared Astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics which deals with objects visible in far-infrared radiation. The cold telescope allows the equipment to work properly
How does distance affect intensity of radiation?
The intensity of radiation decreases with distance following an inverse square law. This means that as you move farther away from the radiation source, the intensity decreases exponentially. Therefore, the closer you are to the source, the higher the radiation intensity you will experience.
How does the earth's atmosphere protect living organism from certain types of electromagnetic radiation?
be far from those radiation
Why do you need to take care not to get a source of radiation inside your body particularly alpha?
Alpha particles are low energy, and are pretty much stopped by your skin. However, if it is inside your body, it can do damage. With all radiation, the inverse square rule applies- 2x as far away, 1/4th the dose. 3x as far, 1/9th of the dose. 4x as far, 1/16th of the dose. But when a source is inside your body, you get ALL the radiation emitted. Old saying in working with radioactive material- time and distance are your friends.
