Radio waves and X-rays are not the same thing. The standards for safe exposure to radio wave energy and the standards for safe exposure to X-rays are quite different. It takes a very large amount of radio wave energy to cause harm.

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 aeroplanes park in the air?

No, not really. The closer you can get to that is with a Vtol aeroplane (like the harrier) which can stand like a helicopter on engine power alone (without lift from the wings). However, these are few, and can't usually remain like that for long. As an example, the harrier can only remain hovering for one and a half minute, as in that position the engine refrigeration is assured by water cooling (as there is no airflow) and the water tanks only carry enough water for that time period.

What is the purpose of the lead apron and how does it work?

Technicians (and patients) who are exposed to ionizing radiation (most commonly, x-rays) wear lead aprons to protect their vital organs from radiation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation has been shown to cause cancer. Lead absorbs x-rays, alpha particles and beta particles. It is much less effective at absorbing gamma rays, but it's far better than no protection at all.


What are aprons used for in the workshop?
