How do radioactive nuclides affect photographic film wrapped in light proof paper?
Wiki User

Gamma radiation can easily pass through paper and cause fogging on film. This is radiation identical to light except it has higher frequency and energy, generally higher than x-rays.

What ray does not affect the photographic plate?
cathode rays
Why was becquerel interested in phosphorescence?
because he works as a photographer... <3
What affect the half life of a radioactive substance A the mass of the substance B the temperature of the substance C the addition of a catalyst D the type?
the type of isotope apex
What does not affect the half-life or a radioactive substance?
The temperature The total amount of the substance The addition of a catalyst ~
What factors could affect the counting rate of a geiger counter?
The Geiger counter is a tool that was invented to measure radioactive materials for safety purposes. Factors that can prevent the Geiger counter from providing accurate results include failure to calibrate the tool before use, indirect readings that fail to locate hidden radioactive rays, and a low battery.
What ray does not affect the photographic plate?
cathode rays
Is an radioactive metal gold?
To some extent most elements are radioactive whenever there is a possibility of an unstable isotope. However, generally speaking, gold is not considered to be radioactive. Having said that, radioactive gold can be made.
What is the effect of humidity and temperature on radioactive elements?
Temperature and humidity do not affect radioactive decay.
How do minerals containing uranium darken photographic film?
Emitting alpha particles and gamma rays. These rays affect the photographic emulsion. The natural radioactivity of uranium was discovered by Henri Becquerel in 1896.
Is computer heat radioactive?
Maybe, b'cos of the small amounts of radioactive materials used in them( NOT SO SURE). that may affect us.
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.
What is the effect of pressure on the rate of radioactive decay?
Pressure does not affect the rate of radioactive decay. That is entirely unaffected by the environment within the nucleus of the atom.
Why can the effects of radioactive decay on the body be useful and harmful?
Radioactive materials released from a source can affect the human body via a number of pathways. Some may be transported by winds or water to our vicinity. These radioactive substances can affect us through direct irradiation and may be inhaled or ingested.
How do physical and chemical changes affect radioactivity?
They don't - which is why radioactive dating works.
How do radioactive wastes affect the Earth?
it can kill the earth and even us if there is to much
What does not affect the half life or a redioactive decay?
Temperature and combination of the radioactive element.
How does radioactive waste affect the earths physical and chemical cycle?
Any influence was detected.
