Radiation in a sentence

A G-M tube can detect the presence of radiation, but not its energy which influences the radiation's ionising effect.

Energy enters our planet in the form of solar radiation and leaves in the form of infrared radiation, exiting as heat.

Higher values indicate that a cloud reflects a large amount of solar radiation or transmits a small amount of radiation.

Hypoxic conditions reduce the generation of radiation-induced DNA damage and the effective toxicity of a dose of radiation.

Beta radiation from linac accelerators is far more energetic and penetrating than natural beta radiation.

However, there are limitations in measuring high radiation rates and the energy of incident radiation.

Chemotherapy is often used in young children instead of radiation, as radiation may have negative effects on the developing brain.

Being composed of charged particles, beta radiation is more strongly ionizing than gamma radiation.

Ionizing radiation detectors In addition to light, mentioned above, semiconductor diodes are sensitive to more energetic radiation.

Its alpha radiation is rather weak – 1.45 × 10 -3 % with respect to the β-radiation – but is sometimes used to detect this isotope.

Background radiation from the packaging is also significant. citation Cited in citation Radiation hardening mitigates these effects.

Almost all of the rest of the radiation (6.5% delayed beta and gamma radiation) is eventually converted to heat in a reactor core or its shielding.

Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat radiation", but light and electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb them.

Clouds increase the global reflection of solar radiation from 15% to 30%, reducing the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the Earth by about 44 W/m².

It is defined as the part of the radiation intensity corresponding to a given polarization, divided by the total radiation intensity of an isotropic antenna.
