Radiation and the Dangers Its Causes

Radiation and the Dangers Its Causes

  What is Radiation?

Radiation is radiant energy through a material or space in the form of heat, particles or electromagnetic waves / light (photons) from the radiation source. There are several sources of radiation that we know in our lives, for example, is a television, lighting, heating food (microwave oven), computers, and others.

Most people tremble when they hear about radiation and the…

After UV Come X-Rays

After UV come X-rays, which, like the upper ranges of UV are also ionizing. However, due to their higher energies, X-rays can also interact with matter by means of the Compton effect, or the inelastic scattering of photons in matter results in a decrease in energy or increase in wavelength of an X-ray or gamma ray photon.

Hard X-rays have shorter wavelengths than soft X-rays. As they can pass through most substances, X-rays can be used to “see through” objects. The most notable use is the X-ray images in medicine, a process known ad radiography, or the use of X-rays to view a non-uniformly composed material such as the human body, as well as for high-energy physics and astronomy.

Neutron stars, a type of stellar remnant resulting from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a Type II, Type Ib or Type Icsupernova event, and accretion disks around black holes, a region of space-time from which nothing, not even light, can escape, emit X-rays. It enables people to study them. X-rays are given off by stars and are strongly emitted by some types of nebulae.
