It can knock off little pieces of you. For example, genetic mutation. That doesn't occur spontaneously; instead, it's the result of radiation knocking off a little tiny piece of your DNA, and that altered DNA is passed on to your kids.
A dosimeter is used to measure radiation exposure of people working with radiation. It is worn by individuals who are at risk of exposure to monitor the amount of radiation they are exposed to over time.
Infrared radiation is not necessarily bad for you as it is a natural form of energy also emitted by the sun. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of infrared radiation can lead to skin burns or damage, similar to exposure to sunlight. It is important to be cautious and limit direct exposure, particularly to high-intensity infrared sources.
Yes, light bulbs emit radiation in the form of visible light.
Yes, people use radiation in various fields such as medicine (radiation therapy, X-rays), industry (non-destructive testing, sterilization), and research (radiocarbon dating, nuclear physics). However, it is crucial to handle radiation safely to minimize potential health risks.
Poor absorbers of heat radiation include materials that are light in color, shiny, or reflective, such as aluminum foil or white paint. These materials do not easily absorb heat energy from radiation and may instead reflect it away.
radiation is bad because it can kill people or if there is a lady who has a baby after, the baby might be mis-shapen
well... it keeps you warm but if the radiation gets too intense you die because you are so hot
i emits radiation that can giver you CANCER SO GO EAT SOME TODAY
Radiation is in fact bad for the human body.
BAD. It not only kills those close to the actual explosion, but radiation from the blast kills people far away and also affects their future health by the effects of radiation on bones and other human traits.
Radiation is neither good nor bad. All types of radiation can be useful for some purpose, but many can be harmful in overdose conditions.
many people died from the atomic bomb but the radiation still lingers there and can be very bad for people (i got this info out of a book
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
I think it depends how bad it is. these days most people have sun spot from the harsh radiation from the sun so 1 or 2 days WITH sunblock. Sunburns hurt bad. trust me i saw my relatives get a sunburn and it was not pretty!
bad radiation
"Bad" types of radiation are the types that hurt you. So there is no really bad types, only bad uses. See the website here for the different types: http://www.hps.org/publicinformation/ate/faqs/radiationtypes.html Then decide for yourself what is a good use and a bad use for the different types of radiation.
Gamma radiation is deadly because it causes cancer. But it be used to kill cancerous cells as well. So, gamma is bad, but has it's useful properties too!
