radiation We can classify radiation into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation‚ according to the effects it produces on matter. Ionizing radiation includes cosmic rays‚ X rays and the radiation from radioactive materials. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet light‚ radiant heat‚ radio waves and microwaves.In medical practice ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involve non-ionizing radiation. +light n heat radiation produced by the sun *ionizing radiation is produced by some

THE IMPACT OF RAPID URBANIZATION ON HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA FROM 1950 -2010 (Focus on urban developments and housing problems case study: Lagos) Urbanization according to Aluko O.E is rather subjective and can be given various interpretations. However in this concept it can be defined as the expansion of the number of people living in an urban area that depicts the rate at which people move from rural areas and populate the urban areas. Reports however‚ from the united nation show that the

The Radish seeds were planted in a pot‚ which contained soil from the garden and cow manure. The Radish was placed in an area similar to the black bean plant and watered daily. According to Yates Expert (n.d.‚ para. 3) radish plants like moist soil and by watering the plant in the evening this helped stop the soil from being dried out from the summer weather. By day eight the radish plant had germinated with more than one seed breaking through the soil. However‚ regular observations showed that

Effect of Ionizing Radiation on the Germination‚ Growth and Development of Corn (Zea mays L.) Alexis A. Parco BIO30 Group 1 Sec. A-6L September 27‚ 2012 ABSTRACT Corn seeds pre-exposed to 10‚ 30‚ and 50 kiloRads (kR) of radiation were grown in plots for almost 7 weeks. Four different setups – 10kR‚ 30kR‚ 50kR and the control‚ each with 10 corn seeds initially planted – were observed three times a week (during Mondays‚ Wednesdays and Fridays)‚ and the height of each growing corn was

Radish and Collard lab Intro Purpose: To see if the population density affect the growth (mass) and germination of individuals of two species growing alone and in mixed species groups. Hypothesis: If planted like treatment 1 (8 collards) and 4 (8 radish) then it will have a higher mass and a greater germination percentage. If the plant is planted with a smaller population density and has intraspecific competition then the radish and collard will have higher germination percentages and mass averages

compound(Liebeskind‚ 2013). Seed germination is simply the process in which a seedling sprouts from a seed and begins it’s growth. The most important factors for seed germination is the temperature‚ the presence of oxygen and the exposure to water. For a seed to germinate‚ the temperature must be between 60 and 75 degrees fahrenheit. Oxygen and water must be present as well. Lastly the seed must be exposed to light(Britannica‚ 2013). The hypothesis for the experiment is “If seeds are put into different concentrations

induced via a physical agent‚ radiation. 4 levels of radiation—0 kr (control)‚ 10 kr‚ 30 kr‚ and 50 kr—were used in seeds to determine the radiation effects on the growth of Zea mays. Using two duplicate set-ups‚ each‚ planted with 18 seeds per radiation‚ the differences in height were observed from January 29 to March 17 in a 1 to 2-day interval (Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays). Results show that as radiation increases‚ the potential of plants to grow decreases—0 kr seeds reached the highest mean height

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
