Physics Radiation 3 types of radiation -Alpha a -Beta B •Gamma Y a B Y Penetration Alpha (a) is absorbed by paper or skin Beta (B) is absorbed by thin aluminium Gamma (7) is absorbed thick by a B 7 ++ Shin Aluminium Alpha travels a few cm. Beta travels few meters. Gamma have almost infinate. range. Paper Lead Tomising Power - As the radiation passes through matter. it causes some of the atoms to loose an electron and become ions. Penetrating Power - This is how easily the radiation. passes through matter without ioning it C Radiation Background Radiation -Near impossible to miss as radiation is all around us Radiation -These can natural comes from many different sources be split into two groups man-made and Natural Radiation Key word is natural -Not anything we we can do about it. - Comes from places such as ground, air, building material, food or cosmic ways. Man-made sources of Radiation Around 15% of radiation. is man-made - Come from Humans. -Examples are →→ Waste from nuclear power stations, radioactive and medical trays. nuclear weapons.
