Background radiation

meaning of the effects radiation has on the daily life of students from Chavez high school. Many of us don’t know what radiation means let me enlighten your mind in physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium (Google). Radiation is used in our life in different ways and to figure that out we’re going to ask a few students from Chavez to tell us how much they expose themselves to radiation. Purpose…

There’s a little bit of background information to know about the Brassica lab, in order to fully understand what is being tested and the mechanisms behind it. There are questions that need to be asked such as: why use Wisconsin fast plants, what gamma radiation does to organisms on a molecular level, and even what it does to organisms on a physical level. Why did we use Wisconsin fast plants for this experiment? Wisconsin fast plants are more formally known as Brassica Rapa and are rapid…

Introduction Today’s society can be referred to as the “age of technology.” With the many new technology advancements and inventions, today’s society has become technically savvy. People of different age groups, backgrounds, and professions have experienced using various forms of technology. From televisions, music playing devices, tablets, video games, and laptop computers, technology has greatly affected and influenced today’s society. Among the new and evolving technologies of today is the…

by observing the distance of galaxies. Edwin Hubble also helped to prove that Lemaitre hypothesis is correct. In 1948 Gamow estimated the strength of remaining cosmic microwave background radiation, saying that the glow of the Big Bang must be cooled after billion of years that has to fill the universe with a radiation about five degree above zero. This prediction was proved by the discovery of cosmic microwave which was 2.7 above zero. This is done by Penzias and Wilson in 1965.  Theory…

Introduction As more and more UVB radiation is coming into contact with the Earth’s surface, it’s important to consider how life on this planet is impacted. Plants have survived throughout many of the climate fluctuations Earth has gone through previously, but changes of this magnitude have never been seen before. Scientists are currently looking to observe just how much radiation plants can tolerate in response to the continual climates changes on Earth. This issue is relevant to the general…

the accident the elephant's foot was found. The foot has many life-threatening effects. The effects were way worse back then, then they are now. The elephant's foot is a very scary thing. After the tragedy of Chernobyl, a toxic lump of radiation was found. Even though it happened over 30 years ago the elephant's foot is still lethal and it will be for 50,000 more years. The elephant’s foot was given the name “the most toxic thing in the world” and was named by the workers who found it.…

in light. It is this that creates the strange warping effect that they have. Another way that it could be possible to spot a black hole is through radiation. Though they are invisible and have gravity fields so strong that they suck in light black holes still emit radiation. If had a device that detected radiation you could pick up the radiation coming from the black hole. It would then be possible to pinpoint the black holes location and predict if it was going to pass close enough to…

Introduction/Condition Background: In the United States, the most common cancer and the third leading cause of death from cancer among men is prostate cancer . The prostate is an organ that functions in producing fluid that protects and nourishes the sperm in semeni. It is located approximately at the base of the bladder in males. A growth of malignant cancerous cells in the prostate is called prostate cancer. If the cancer is confined to just the prostate, it is called localised prostate cancer…

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Today the ozone layer is depleting due to the release of pollution containing chemicals chlorine and bromine. Such deterioration allows large amounts of UV B rays to reach Earth1 seen in figure 1, which can cause many harmful internal and external effects on humans. Although it has been proven that the depletion of the ozone layer has caused health issues, there are many other factors for these health issues. The UV radiation also allows humans to…

range in and around Chernobyl is presently an atomic no man's land. Individuals shouldn't live in these regions, yet regardless they do, even with the threat of transformations and radiation infection. For the individuals and nations influenced by the radiation, this was a frightful, frightening and incensing background. Towns were cleared late and very few things were carried out in time to spare lives and forestall more harms. Incalculable lapses were made at Chernobyl. The…
