What else can I help you with?
What parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are you exposed to in a year?
You are exposed to various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum throughout the year. These include visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and some forms of radio frequency radiation. The levels of exposure can vary depending on factors such as the time spent outdoors and proximity to sources like electronic devices.
Why do the elements such as radium polonium and uranium expose photographic film?
These elements emit ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, which can interact with the photographic film, causing changes in its chemical composition. This interaction leads to the film being exposed and creating an image.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
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.
Does an alpha particle undergo electromagnetic radiation?
Yes alpha particle goes under goes electromagnetic radiations. when an atom is exposed to the magnetic field the alpha particle deviates right through right direction which indicates does have capacity to excite and emits radiations to come to ground level.
Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
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.
Do film badges detect radiation?
Yes, film badges are commonly used as dosimeters to detect and measure radiation exposure. A film badge contains photographic film that darkens in response to exposure from ionizing radiation. It is worn by individuals working in environments where they may be exposed to radiation, and the film is then developed and analyzed to determine the level of exposure.
What caused the fogging of the photographic plates that becquerel observed in 1896?
The fogging of the photographic plates that Becquerel observed in 1896 was caused by the emission of invisible, penetrating radiation from the uranium compound he was studying. This radiation interacted with the photographic plates, causing them to become fogged or exposed. This discovery ultimately led to the further investigation of radioactivity.
Describe the ways in which the unprocessed photographic paper can get damaged in transit?
When undeveloped photographic media is exposed to light or radiation (x-rays included), it can be exposed. It can also be damaged by exposure to water or other liquids. Physical damage can also be done by rough transportation, like rips, tears and folds.
How is electromagnetic energy transformed into heat energy?
Electromagnetic energy is transformed into heat energy through a process called absorption. When an object absorbs electromagnetic radiation, its energy is converted into thermal energy, increasing the object's temperature and producing heat. This is why objects can feel hot when exposed to sources of electromagnetic radiation such as sunlight or microwaves.
How does a radioactive film badge protect workers?
A radioactive film badge is worn by workers to monitor their exposure to radiation. The badge contains a piece of photographic film that darkens when exposed to radiation, providing a visual record of the level of radiation the worker was exposed to. By monitoring radiation levels, workers can adjust their safety practices to limit exposure and protect themselves from the harmful effects of radiation.
What parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are you exposed to in a year?
You are exposed to various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum throughout the year. These include visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and some forms of radio frequency radiation. The levels of exposure can vary depending on factors such as the time spent outdoors and proximity to sources like electronic devices.
Why do people working around radioactive waste in a radioactive storage facility wear badges that contain strips of photographic film?
The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.
What instrument measures radiation?
Geiger Counter, named after Hans Geiger, who developed the device in 1908. There are several others, Crystals that emit light when exposed to radiation are coupled to photoelectric tubes and the light out-put of the crystal is a measure of the radiation absorbed by the crystal. Gas filled ionization chambers which operate much like a Geiger counter are another. Thermoluminescent materials, photographic (x-ray) film, cloud chambers, and bubble chambers are a few others.

Are x-rays the most powerful solar radiation?
No, that would be gamma rays. They have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are what cause radiation sickness and death when people are exposed to them for even a short time.
What links a suntan to the EM spectrum?
A suntan is caused by the release of the pigment Melanin in the skin. This is the body's defensive response to harmful Ultraviolet radiation that makes up part of the Sun's rays. Ultraviolet is part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
When photographic film is exposed to light what metal is formed?
silver halide
How do x rays affect photographic plates?
X-rays will "Fog" photographic plates. That means the plates act as if 'exposed' to light. If the X-rays are intense enough, the plates will appear to be totally exposed.
