Radiation can be classified as either ionising or non-ionising radiation. Ionising radiation is the radiation that causes biological damage. What is the attribute of the radiation that defines whether it is ionising or not?Group of answer choicesThe ability to remove electrons from atomsWhether the radiation is as a particle or a waveThe length of exposure to the radiationThe intensity of the radiation

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. 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.

With specific consideration of biology, what is it about ionising radiation that most makes it hazardous to life?Group of answer choicesIonising radiation interupts digestionIonising radiation leads to hair lossIonising radiation can directly induce cardiac arrestIonising radiation has the ability to cause damage to DNA

Which type of ionising radiation has no charge?

What does radioactive mean?A.Generating positively or negatively charged ionsB.Having electron transitions at radio-wave frequenciesC.Emitting radiation as a result of unstable nucleiD.Absorbing high-energy electromagnetic radiation
