What is ionisation
When atoms absorb radiation t
Alpha absorption ionisation and shielding
Absorbed by paper ionisation has 2 neutrons and 2 protons and can be sheilded by 20cm of air
Beta absorption ionisation and shielding
Absorption 3cm of tissue 3mm aluminium
It is electron and can shield few metres of air
Gamma absorption ionisation and shielding
Not absorbed electromagnetic waves and 3+ cm of lead
What effect of radiation can be used in detector
Blackens film
Applications of radiation
Smoke detectors killing cancer and sterilisation
Describe an atom
An atom has a central nucleus with protons and neutrons orbited by electrons
