Which is the most dangerous type of nuclear radiation if the source is outside the body?
Gamma radiation is the most dangerous type of nuclear radiation if the source is outside the body, as it can penetrate through the body causing damage to cells and DNA. It has the highest energy and can travel the farthest distances.
Why is it more dangerous to be exposed to weak x-ray source than to a strong infrared source?
Infrared radiation only affects the surface of the skin... x-rays penetrate much further.
Why doesn't storing a radioactive source in a freezer stop radiation from being emitted?
Because radioactivity is a naturalphenomenonthat is independent on any external conditions of temperature,pressure,humidity, ... etc.
Explain what Becquerel found out about uranium?
Becquerel discovered that uranium emits radiation without an external energy source, a phenomenon called radioactivity. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of nuclear physics and led to further research on the properties and uses of radioactive materials.
What is an outside source of energy is required for?
An outside source of energy is required for systems that do not produce their own energy, such as electronic devices, vehicles, and buildings. This energy is needed to power the functioning of these systems and to perform the tasks they are designed for.
What is the the heat source of the mantle?
radioactivity

Will doubling the source of radioactivity halve the radiation intensity?
No, doubling the source of radioactivity will not halve the radiation intensity. Radiation intensity is directly proportional to the amount of radioactive material present. So doubling the source will double the radiation intensity.
What is the source of radio activiy?
Radioactivity is caused by unstable atoms, that break apart.
What is the most common source for UV light?
The most common source for UV light would be the sun. Generally everyone is exposed to UV light when they go outside during the day or sit in the sunlight in their home.
Why was Benri Becquerel interested in phosphorescence?
Becquerel was interested in phosphorescence because it involves materials that emit light after being exposed to a source of energy, such as sunlight or electricity. He wanted to better understand this phenomenon and its underlying mechanisms, which ultimately led to his discovery of radioactivity.
What are gas leaks?
A gas leak usually refers to the escape of gasoline from the source of which the gas is stored. They can be highly dangerous and cause large explosions if exposed to flame/and/or intense heat.
What happens in brachytherapy?
A source of radioactivity is surgically placed inside the body near the cancer
Why would human hair be examined for radioactivity?
Well, there's always a possibility of anything emitting radioactivity once it has been around a radioactive source without gear/protection. All the best.
What is the source of the radiation you are exposed to on a flight?
Cosmic rays
