What else can I help you with?
What is a ionising and non-ionising radiation?
heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements
Why are gamma rays less ionising?
it does not
Is sun rays ionising radiation or non ionising?
Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.
Are microwaves ionising or non-ionising?
Microwaves are non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which means they do not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. This makes them safer for everyday use compared to ionizing radiation like X-rays or gamma rays.
What else can Ionising Radiation be Used for?
X-Rays, smoke detectors, sterilizing medical supplies, destroying cancer, CAT scans of the body.
What rays are given off with an MRI?
An MRI scanner emits radio waves whilst it is scanning and utilises a strong magnetic field. It does not emit any ionising radiation like X-rays.
Which types of waves are ionising?
X-rays and gamma rays are types of waves that are ionizing, meaning they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and create charged particles. This can have harmful effects on biological tissues.
What parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are ionising?
X-rays and gamma rays are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that are ionizing, meaning they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules.UV light can also be ionizing, but to a lesser extent.
What are the simirality's between gamma rays and X-rays?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation and have very high penetration power. Gamma rays are similar to UV rays and x-rays in the sense that all of them are forms of electromagnetic radiations.
Are gamma rays ionising or non-ionising?
Gamma rays are ionizing radiation, meaning they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, which can create charged particles (ions) as they pass through matter. This ionization process can damage biological cells and DNA, making gamma rays a health hazard.
Which waves are ionising in the em?
X-rays and gamma rays are ionizing waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, creating ions. This ability to cause ionization makes them useful in various fields such as medical imaging and cancer treatment.
What is the connection between x-rays and radiation?
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays, Gamma Rays etc. are all Electromagnetic radiation, just at different frequencies.In physics, radiation is any process by which energy travels from one body to another.When most people hear radiation they think of ionising radiation, which is a radiation that is strong enough to ionize atoms.X-Rays are both Electromagnetic radiation and ionising radiation, because of the later it is a health hazard.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiography
