kind of like what happened in Doctor Who "The End of Time - Part Two" but more melted and less cheating death
What else can I help you with?
What is peak radiation?
Peak radiation refers to the maximum level of radiation exposure that an individual or area experiences during a given period. This typically occurs during a nuclear event or radiation accident when radiation levels spike before decreasing. It is crucial to monitor peak radiation levels to assess the potential impacts and ensure safety measures are in place.
The standard unit of radiation related to biologic hazard is known as the?
The standard unit of radiation related to biological hazard is known as sievert denoted by Sv. The smaller unit for the same is called rem (100 rem is 1 Sv). The difference between the unit of absorbed dose(Gray / rad) and Sv is that sievert also takes into account the biological effectiveness of the different types of radiation
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays
How could solar radiation enhance or slow down the effects of global warming?
If the sun's radiation output increased, then this would make global warming hotter.If the sun's radiation output decreased, this would make global warming cooler.In fact, the sun's radiation doesn't vary much at all.
Would you classify radiation as ionizing radiation?
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.
What is the fraction of the total radiation?
If you are given the "the total radiation" (e.g. 100 rads of radiation) and you are given another radiation level (e.g. 75 rads of radiation) and then you are asked: 'What is "the fraction of the total radiation?"', then you would answer "75/100".
How is radiation measured?
Rads
What are rads and grays?
Rads and grays are units used to measure radiation exposure. Rads are an older unit that measures the amount of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation by matter. Grays are the newer, more internationally accepted unit that measures the absorbed dose of radiation.
How long does a human have to live if they encounter just over a thousand rads of radiation?
Exposure to over a thousand rads of radiation would likely be fatal within a matter of hours to days due to acute radiation sickness, which can have severe effects on the body's cells and organs. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to try to mitigate the effects of such a high level of radiation exposure.
What are the effects of radiation fallout?
I've only heard of a nuke causing rads fallout, I included the link to wikipedia.
How many RADS are in a perfusion ct scan?
A perfusion CT scan typically delivers a radiation dose ranging from about 10 to 40 millisieverts (mSv), depending on various factors such as the specific protocol used and the patient's size. This dose can be converted to radiation absorbed dose (RADS), but it is more common to refer to it in mSv. For context, 1 RAD is equivalent to 0.01 Gray, so the radiation exposure from a perfusion CT scan would generally be several hundred to a few thousand RADs, depending on the specific circumstances. Always consult with a medical professional for precise information regarding radiation exposure.
What does a Geiger counter allow us to do?
It measure the amount of radiation in a certain area. The amount is measured in Rads.
Can a person take 750 rads of radiation?
Exposure to 750 rads (7.5 grays) of radiation is extremely hazardous and typically lethal. This level of radiation can cause severe damage to human tissues and organs, leading to acute radiation syndrome, which may result in death within days or weeks without immediate medical intervention. Most humans can tolerate only a fraction of this dose without serious health consequences, making 750 rads well beyond the threshold of survivability in most cases.
How many rads does a nuclear weapon produce?
The amount of radiation produced by a nuclear weapon can vary depending on its size and yield. However, a single detonation of a nuclear weapon can produce tens of thousands to millions of rads within the immediate vicinity of ground zero. This level of radiation exposure can be lethal to humans and cause widespread health effects.
How safe is 50 rads of radiation per hour?
50 rads per hour is 200 times the maximum safe continuous exposure rate. It depends of course on how long you are exposed to 50 Rads per hour. If you are exposed to 50 Rads per hour for only 15 seconds you will be just fine, where as if you were exposed for 10 hours total during a two week period, you are dead.
What unit are use to measure radiation?
Roentgen (or Becquerel)Rad (or Grey)Rem (or Sievart)Depending on what you want to measure
A meter is a unit of length a liter is a init if volume what are the unit for the radiation?
I believe it is RADs. This is a measurement of the intensity of radiation and allows you to calculate how much exposure you are allowed before it is fatal.
