Non Ionizing Radiation Research Paper
About Radiation:
Radiation is an energy that is transmitted in the form of waves or tiny particles.
These are electromagnetic waves, which are classified as 'ionizing radiation' and 'non ionizing radiation'. Electromagnetic radiation is when an object gives out electromagnetic radiation. For example when you on a torch light, the light is an example of radiation.
Ionising radiation has more energy than non ionising radiation. Therefore it is enough to cause chemical changes by breaking chemical bonds. For example it can cause to damage living tissues. It has very high energy radiation, which will break up the nucleus of the atoms.
Three types of Ionizing Radiation Includes:
*Alpha
*Beta
*Gamma
(All of the above radiations can break out the electrons coming out of the atoms.)
Radiation absorbed by the substances …show more content…
These examples are Radio, micro waves, infrared, visible light and ultraviolet.
Negative Effects Of Ionising Non ionising:
There are negative effects on ionising and non ionising radiation that we are exposed to everyday. For example, microwave use microwaves, toasters use infrared red, TV use gamma rays and we use mobile phones that also use microwaves.
These are all types of radiation which can effect us, as it damages our skin (tissues), because we are exposed to it too much everyday. Another type of radiation that can effect us the most is ultraviolet (UV). This is emitted from the sun which causes skin cancers to us, if we stay in the sun for long.
However, people who are darker are less likely to get skin cancer. This is, because dark shades (melanin) will block out damaging ultraviolet rays to a point, which is why darker people, like latinos, asians and black are less likely to get sunburned. So melanin helps protect against ultraviolet (UV)
