Question
Choose TRUE if the statement is correct, FALSE if otherwise. Ionization, is the process if a wave has enough energy, that it can remove the inner electrons from atoms.
Solution
FALSE. Ionization is the process where an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. The ionization process can indeed be caused by high energy radiation (like ultraviolet light or X-rays), but it doesn't specifically target the "inner" electrons of an atom. It can affect any electron that is not too tightly bound to the nucleus.

Radiation dose is measured in sieverts (Sv) or millisieverts (mSv). Ionizing waves have a severe effect on living tissue by killing cells or damaging DNA. Ultraviolet (UV) rays, X-rays, and Gamma rays are examples of non-ionizing waves. Radiographers take several X-rays each day and their potential dose is much lower. Some exposure to UV radiation is beneficial like skin uses UV radiation from the Sun to make vitamin D but overexposure is generally harmful. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a number used by sunscreen manufacturers to indicate how much longer youcan stay out in the sun before getting burnt. Microwaves are radio waves with long wavelengths that causes very slightly absorbed by the body and can cause a minor heating effect.
