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 1
FALSE. The statement contains several inaccuracies. Ionization is indeed the process where a wave with enough energy can remove electrons from atoms, but it doesn't specifically target inner electrons. Radiation dose is correctly measured in sieverts (Sv) or millisieverts (mSv). Ionizing waves can indeed have a severe effect on living tissue by killing cells or damaging DNA. However, Ultraviolet (UV) rays, X-rays, and Gamma rays are examples of ionizing waves, not non-ionizing waves. The statement about radiographers is ambiguous and needs clarification. Exposure to UV radiation can be beneficial for vitamin D production, but overexposure is indeed harmful. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is correctly defined. Microwaves are a type of radio wave, but they have shorter wavelengths, not longer. They can be absorbed by the body and cause a heating effect, but whether this is minor or not can depend on the intensity and duration of exposure.

Fill-in-the-Blanks.Some may be used more than once, others not at all.X-rays and rays are both types of radiations and therefore are capable of removing from atoms. This ionisation of atoms causes the of covalent bonds between and the breaking of these bonds causes damage. When the tissues of the body are , the photons of radiation undergo photoelectric and interactions with cells of the tissues. Energy is transferred to the , resulting in the breaking of the chemical by ionising the atom.
