What else can I help you with?
What is infrared radiation also called?
Infrared radiation is also commonly called infrared light or IR radiation.
What is a unit of absorbed radiation called?
A unit of absorbed radiation is called a gray (Gy).
What is a radiation drop?
A radiation drop is a decrease in radiation levels, typically due to a decrease in the radioactive material emitting the radiation or due to shielding that blocks the radiation from reaching a certain area. It indicates a lessening of radiation exposure in the environment.
What is the procees of producing radiation called?
The process of producing radiation is called ionizing radiation. This type of radiation is created when an atom undergoes a process that results in the removal of an electron, leading to the formation of ions that can then emit radiation.
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
Do cacti absorb radiation from their environment?
No, cacti do not absorb radiation from their environment. They do not have the ability to absorb radiation like some other plants.
What were the effects of radiation on the environment?

Why is a power plant bad for the environment?
Nuclear power plants are bad for the environment because of the unpreventable release of radioactive materials. What many people forget is that radiation is energy, not a material. A material that emits radiation is called radioactive material. Back to the point, radiation causes long-term effects and can pollute almost everything. Water is used to cool reactors and when it leaks into the environment, radiation poisoning is usually the effect. Radiation that comes from the power plant itself can poison surrounding plants, animals, and people. Effects from high radiation exposure (the sun emits radiation) are radiation poisoning, cancer, brain damage, birth defects, infertility, etc.
Does radiation rise?
No, radiation does not rise. Radiation can travel in all directions from its source, with its behavior dependent on the type of radiation and the surrounding environment.
The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?
Adaptive Radiation :)
What is infrared radiation also called?
Infrared radiation is also commonly called infrared light or IR radiation.
What is a unit of absorbed radiation called?
A unit of absorbed radiation is called a gray (Gy).
What happens when there are harmful substances in the environment?
Radiation
Why is internal radiation therapy used?
The advantage of internal radiation therapy is that it concentrates the radiation near the cancer and lessens the chance of damage to normal cells
What does a Nuclear radiation device measure?
A nuclear radiation device measures the level of radiation present in a particular environment. It can detect and quantify different types of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. These devices are essential for monitoring radiation levels in areas like nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and environmental sites.
What is a radiation drop?
A radiation drop is a decrease in radiation levels, typically due to a decrease in the radioactive material emitting the radiation or due to shielding that blocks the radiation from reaching a certain area. It indicates a lessening of radiation exposure in the environment.
Why is interstitial radiation used?
The advantage is that it concentrates the radiation near the cancer and lessens the chance of damage to normal cells
