What else can I help you with?
Can you be exposed to radiation from a person that just had it?
No, you cannot be exposed to radiation from a person who just received radiation treatment. The radiation used in treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy does not linger on the person after treatment, so there is no risk of exposure to others.
What is the term given to the radiation sources to which you and the general public are continuously exposed?
Background radiation.
What is the term given to the radiation source to which the general public is continuously exposed?
Background radiation.
Is it true that the longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer the person is to the radiation the greater the risk?
Yes, this is true. The longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer they are to the source of radiation, the greater their risk of harm. The amount of radiation absorbed by the body is directly related to the duration and proximity of exposure.
What is the meaning of radioactive as a safety symbol?
The "radioactive" safety symbol warns you that radioactive material or a radiation producing machine is near the symbol and you should take precautions to ensure that you are not unnecessarily exposed to ionizing radiation.
Which type of radiation can penetrate penetrate deepest into exposed materials?
gamma
Which type of radiation can penerate deepest into exposed materials?
Gamma radiation can penetrate the deepest into exposed materials. This is because gamma rays have the highest penetrating power among the three types of ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma). Gamma rays can pass through most materials, including metals and concrete, making them particularly hazardous.
What are facts about radiations?
People emit more radiation than their cell phones do. Most of the radiation people are exposed to daily is not harmful because it is non-ionizing. Inside the Chernobyl reactors grows a type of fungus that actually thrives on radiation. A toy released in the 1950s had uranium samples in it.
Why can a radioactive material affect photographic film even though the film is well wrapped in black paper?
Radioactive materials emit ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, which can penetrate various materials, including black paper. This radiation can interact with the photographic film's emulsion, causing chemical changes that result in a latent image, even when the film is not exposed to visible light. The film's sensitivity to radiation allows it to detect these emissions regardless of the wrapping.
What radiation was Pierre Curie exposed?
Pierre Curie was exposed to ionizing radiation, primarily from his work with radioactive materials like uranium. This exposure eventually led to his death due to long-term health effects such as aplastic anemia.
Why is it more dangerous to be exposed to a weak X-ray source than a strong infrared source?
Infrared radiation only affects the surface of the skin... x-rays penetrate much further.

When do you encounter radiation energy?
Whenever your exposed to radiation...
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. The chances of survival for a person exposed to radiation depend on the type, dose, and duration of exposure. Treatment and medical interventions can help improve survival rates for individuals exposed to radiation.
Is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light?
is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light.
How is the skin is exposed to substances?
The skin is exposed to substances through direct contact with chemicals in products such as lotions, cosmetics, or detergents, as well as through environmental factors like pollution or UV radiation. These substances can penetrate the skin and be absorbed into the bloodstream, potentially causing irritation or other adverse effects.
Is radiation pneumonitis able to be passed to others?
Radiation pneumonitis is in relation to being exposed to radiation, therefore the only way another person could get this inflammation of the lungs is by having their person exposed to radiation as well.
