chemical symbol identifies the element it is redundant to include the atomic number‚ so it is rarely used. Carbon-14‚ therefore‚ would be written as 14C or C-l4. Unit of Radiation Energy The electron volt (eV) is an extremely small unit and is equal to only 1.6 X 10-12 ergs. It is only used in radiation safety to express radiation energy. The electron volt is such a small unit that it is usually written as mega- or kilo- electron volts which is a million electron volts (MeV) or a thousand electron

The Biological Effects of Radiation Whether the source of radiation is natural or man made‚ whether it is a small dose of radiation or a large dose‚ there will be some biological effects. Radiation causes ionizations of atoms‚ which will affect molecules‚ which may affect cells‚ which may affect tissues‚ and so on. Although most people tend to think of biological effects in terms of the effect of radiation on living cells‚ in actuality‚ ionizing radiation‚ by definition‚ interacts only with

Humans should use solar energy in order to conserve environment. State whether you agree or disagree with this statement and support your opinion by referring to appropriate sources. In current society‚ the problem of the climate issue and of the finite nature of fossil energy sources is becoming increasingly serious. The need of renewable and clean energy becomes extremely urgent. But in the meantime‚ solar energy as new type energy cause people concern. In addition‚ whether using solar energy

It is not conceivable of life without water. Inquiry after inquiry to find another life on other planets is premised on the notion that if scientists can find signs of water on any planet in our universe‚ then there is the possibility of life‚ such as mars. a.What are the most considerable impacts you make? We know how the heat from the Sun leads to evaporation through rays on the oceans and seas. When water evaporates to form clouds‚ these clouds will then in turn form into rain. The rain falls

A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION SOLAR ENERGY is the radiant energy that we receive from the sun in the form of heat and light. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar Energy is the ultimate source of most of the sources of energy that we use. The wind energy‚ water energy‚ energy of fossil fuels and the energy in food are due to solar energy. SOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY The discovery of radioactivity led some scientists to suggest that the energy released during radioactive decay of radioactive

Solar Screen Professor Stansfield Writing for engineers sections F 12/10/12 Introduction In the wake of Hurricane sandy and other natural disasters a portable solar charged phone has been in demand. Our product the Solar Screen fills this void and offers a phone that does not need to be charged through the wall. This product creates an easier work environment in which there is no concern of being cut off in the middle of an important phone call as the result of a dead battery. This product

Solar Energy: Earth’s Future Imagine our planet with clean‚ fresh air. No pollution throughout our whole world. This image is a possibility‚ using solar energy. Solar energy is the harnessing of the sun’s energy and converting it into energy that we can use to accomplish tasks. Everybody should get involved in solar energy because it helps improve our environment‚ is efficient in terms of saving money and time‚ and helps us prepare for the living of future generations. Solar energy is becoming
