THE NEGATIVE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION Page 1 Abstract Nuclear radiation has been a major problem since 1941 when the Second World War began. A major contribution to World War Two is the nuclear bomb‚ also known as the Atom bomb. Once the two bombs were dropped‚ the usually terminal Leukemia was derived throughout Japan. There are three types of radiation‚ Alpha‚ Beta‚ and Gamma radiation. In my study of radiation I discovered that radiation can damage many cells in your body

Meteorology 11 October 2013 Harmful UV Rays and Their Differences As we all know being over exposed to the sun and its harmful rays can be very dangerous for your skin‚ and may lead to skin cancer‚ but there are some UV rays that are more dangerous than others. Coming from the skin cancer stand point the most dangerous rays are UVB rays‚ they are the main cause of most skin cancers. Although UVB rays are the most harmful to our skin it has the second shortest wavelength coming in at 290-320

Counter Radiation and the Greenhouse Effect As well as being warmed by shortwave radiation from the Sun‚ the Earth’s surface is significantly heated by the long wave radiation emitted by the atmosphere and absorbed by the ground. Let’s look at this in more detail. The energy flows between the surface‚ atmosphere‚ and space. Some of this radiation is reflected back to space‚ but much is absorbed‚ warming the surface. Meanwhile‚ the Earth’s surface emits long-wave radiation upwards. Some of

rate of growth in plants over a certain period of time? When tested‚ there is no affect on the growth of plants from a change of an environmental factor‚ such as an exposure to fertilizer. By changing the independent variable (whether or not the plant was planted with fertilizer)‚ you are testing to see how the dependent variable would change (the growth of plants). In order to assure that there is no experimental error‚ a control must be kept to produce the most accurate data on what effect fertilizer

of fertilizers on plant growth | | | Year 11 Biology Year 11 Biology Abstract An investigation was carried out to compare the effect between inorganic and organic fertilizers on plant growth. Tomato seedlings were used‚ which were divided into 3 groups - the inorganic fertilizer group‚ the organic fertilizer group and the control group. Besides using different fertilizers‚ all of the seedlings were planted in the same condition. The result has shown that the plants using organic fertilizer

Answer: Radiation has a profound effect on matter. Particularly in forms where it has high energy. There are basically two kinds of radiation‚ and they are electromagnetic energy and particulate radiation. Low energy electromagnetic radiation isn’t generally hazardous‚ as long as the field strengths are low. You wouldn’t want to stand in front of a radar antenna when it’s radiating‚ but we are swept by low power electromagnet energy all the time. Those so-called radio waves are everywhere. Light

the Plant the Longest? Daniel Rivera Alfonso Pineda Mrs. Fraijo AP Biology 10 June 2012 Abstract: In this experiment‚ 8 plants will be tested. Each except one plant (which will be the control group) will receive a certain amount of water starting at 0 teaspoons of water. Each plant will receive 1 more teaspoon than the previous cup‚ so it would be increasing. For example‚ cup 4 will have 4 teaspoons of water and cup 3 would have 3. The data recorded will be the length the plant grows

Growth of Plant under Different Colored Light Problem: Does the color of light affect the plant growth? Hypothesis: Red color will have the most impact on the plant growth‚ meanwhile; black will have the least impact on the plant growth Variables: • Dependent Variable is the color of light • Independent Variable is the type of plant used Materials/Apparatus: • Plants (of the same type) • Water • Ruler • Colored Construction Paper • Colored Transparent Print Paper • Lamp with Incandescent

Data Analysis Does radiation affect the growth of seeds? If‚ plant seeds are exposed to microwave radiation‚ then the seeds will grow less than how a seed is usually grown. The independent variable was the amount of microwave radiation the seeds receive. The dependent variable was the growth of the plant seeds. Control variables were the amount of water (30 mL at a time)‚ the amount of light (11 hours each day)‚ and the amount of seeds. The control group was the non-microwaved seeds. The experimental
