The properties of nuclear radiation are used to detect their levels. Different types of radiation have different effects on the human body. The key properties that are used to detect nuclear radiation include the ability to: * Geiger-Müller tube Geiger-Müller tubes work using ionising effect of radioactivity. It is best at detecting alpha

They provide a diversity gain in multipath signal reception. 4. They enable array signal processing. Hon Tat Hui 1 Antenna Arrays NUS/ECE EE4101 An important characteristic of an array is the change of its radiation pattern in response to different excitations of its antenna elements. Unlike a single antenna whose radiation pattern is fixed

The solar cooker may be a possible alternative when cooking outdoors under

The term “radiation” means the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles. Gamma rays: used in cancer radiation treatments‚ come from radioactive material‚ also from supernova explosions. X-rays used in airports to look inside luggage‚ used for medical diagnostics‚ also created in stars (like

High impact noises are particularly damaging. Noise can also mask out signals‚ affecting communication or danger warnings. Radiation hazards Equipment such as radioactive gauging devices or the radioactive trace element used in analytical chemistry produce Ionising radiation. Non-ionising radiation covers infrared radiation (heat-producing processes)‚ lasers‚ ultraviolet radiation (welding‚ sunlight)‚ and microwaves (high-frequency welders‚ freeze drying). Electrical hazards These include the risk

Doctors use small amounts of radioactive materials called radio tracers that are either injected into the bloodstream‚ inhaled or swallowed. Radiation therapy is also a therapy that uses radioactive materials to treat cancers. The use of nuclear medicine is a fast-growing idea in the world of medicine. About 1/3 of modern procedures in hospitals use nuclear chemistry. Nuclear medicine technologist’s

used in many things in today’s time such as TV remotes. A TV remote uses Infrared energy with the wavelength of 940 nanometers. You however cannot see this light emitting from the remote with the naked eye‚ but some telephones are sensitive to that radiation emitted. Another common use is an Infrared lamp or heat lamps which emit Infrared energy between 500 to 3000 nanometers. They are used to keep food warm or to heat bathrooms. They are also used to keep small animals and reptiles warm or even to

Ionizing radiation is radiation that can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer tremendously. This form of radiation involves high-energy photons being absorbed by the body and penetrating the DNA (8). MRI differs from this because it uses non-ionizing radiation in the form of magnetic fields and radio waves and this type of radiation has not been linked to cancer yet. However‚ it is notable that most non-ionizing radiation is heat and patients run the risk of burns

This led to the calculation of possible energy levels for these orbits and the postulation that the emission of light occurs when an electron moves into a lower
