Question

Is this effect true for all materials[Radiation]

Answer 1

Answer:

Lonizing radiation damage the genetic material in reproductive cells and result in mutation that are... it must be emphasized again that virtually all mutation have hateful effect.

Answer 2

Radiation is defined as the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.

• Examples are Light, heat, microwaves etc.
• There are Ionizing Radiation and non ionizing radiation.
• Ionizing radiation carries more than 10 eV, which is enough to ionize atoms and molecules and break chemical bonds.
• The non-ionizing radiation consists of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma particles, whereas ionizing radiation consists of microwave radiation, infrared radiation and radio waves.
• Nuclear radiation is an energy that is released by elementary particles of the atomic nucleus that caused by the process of nuclear decay.
• Alpha radiation is a heavy and very short-range particle.
• The Gamma rays or Gamma radiation consists of photons with a wavelength less than 3×10−11meters.
• Radiation Pressure is the pressure exerted by the electromagnetic radiation on the surface.
• The radiation pressure is independent of the wavelength of incident light and depends on the nature of the surface on which light falls.
• Beta radiations are classified into:  Beta-minus (β−) and Beta-plus (β+)
• . In contrast, visible light and longer-wavelength electromagnetic radiation, such as infrared, microwaves, and radio waves, consists of photons with too little energy to cause damaging molecular excitation, and thus uv radiation is far less hazardous per unit of energy.
• Radiation may be thought of as energy in motion either at speeds equal to the speed of light in free space—approximately 3 × 10 10 centimetres (186,000 miles) per second
