Science W4 Lesson 3 Flashcards
energy that comes from the core of the Sun
Radiant Energy
the different types of energy that comes from the core of the Sun
EM Waves
comes from Radiant Energy
EM Radiation
travels in the form of high speed particles or energy waves
Radiation
What are the 2 Sources of Radiation?
Natural and Man-made
forms naturally, ex. sun, building materials, human body, the earth
Natural Sources
medical, commercial… ex. x-ray, atomic bomb fallout, nuclear power production, TV (gadgets)
Man-made sources
What are the 2 Types of Radiation?
Ionizing, and Non-Ionizing
does NOT have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, VIBRATES ONLY, HIGH WAVELENGTH, LOW FREQUENCY. (Radio-UV)
Non-Ionizing
CAN remove electons, DNA Mutation, DNA Damage, Down Syndrome. High Frequency, Low Wavelength (X-Ray, Gamma Ray)
