What is the difference between waves used in microwave ovens and nuclear radiation?
Both microwave radiation and nuclear electromagnetic radiation are members of the same species, but they're as different as babies are from elephants, to wit, microwaves are much, much less powerful than nuclear electromagnetic radiation. Microwave radiation, for instance, makes atoms shift their position (and magnetic fields) very, very quickly. Now the definition of heat is "movement," so the faster anything moves, the "hotter" we say it is. Ergo, something placed in a microwave-radiation-field becomes noticeably "hotter." But comparing microwave and nuclear electromagnetic radiation is like comparing a face-slap to a 20-ton BOMB. Nuclear radiation comes from atomic nuclei, so "nuclear radiation" can strike, penetrate, damage, and even destroy atoms in their path. Big difference, capiche? Huge.We left out the part about nuclear particulate radiation. There is no comparison there. Additionally, nuclear electromagnetic radiation is ionizing radiation while microwave radiation is not.
What is nuclear island?
A nuclear island is a portion of a nuclear power plant that houses the reactor and associated systems. It is designed to contain any potential radiation releases in the event of an accident. The term "nuclear island" is commonly used in the nuclear industry to describe this critical part of the plant that is isolated from other non-nuclear areas.
Which best describe the nucles of an atom?
It is the part of the atom with the greatest mass
Do all nuclear bombs have radiation?
Yes, for a nuclear weapon to work it has to use fission(splitting of atoms) to acquire its energy. When this fission occurs some small parts of atoms are not completely turned into energy or into the decayed form of uranium. These parts which are usually made up of pairs of one or two nutrons, protons or electrons are then flung at high speeds resulting in radiation.
What is gamma cup?
A gamma cup is a radiation shield used in nuclear facilities to contain radioactive materials and prevent radiation leaks. It is typically made of a dense material such as lead or steel to block harmful radiation.
Which part of atoms does nuclear radiation come from?
nucleus, of course. that's why its called nuclear.
Is a nucleus an atom that produces nuclear energy?
No, it is a part of an atom.
What is nuclear part?
The electronic clouds (orbits) around the nucleus is extra nuclear part of atom.
What part of the atom is affected in radiation?
The electron is affected in radiation. The electron orbit is changed.
In what part of atom is nuclear energy found?
In the nucleus!
Which part of atom take part in nuclear reaction?
The nucleus of an atom is the part that takes part in nuclear reactions. It consists of protons and neutrons, which are involved in processes such as fission and fusion. The electrons surrounding the nucleus are not typically involved in nuclear reactions.
What part of the atom is most involved in making light?
The extra nuclear part.(electronic shells)
How are nuclear geothermal solar and hydroelectric alike?
they are alike becausee they are part of an atom
What part of the atom does the word nuclear refer to?
A concept or model of the atom characterised by the presence of a small, massive nucleus at its centre.
What part of an atom do you measure in carbon dating?
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
Is An electron is the only part of an atom that may leave or join an atom?
No. It's the only part of an atom that may leave or join an atom easily. Nuclear fusion and fission add or remove other particles like neutrons and protons.
The part of the sun where nuclear fusion occurs?
In the center. Heat then flows out to the outer surface by radiation and convection
