Understanding Radiation

Non-ionizing radiation is harmful, while ionizing radiation is not.

Non-ionizing radiation has lower energy levels compared to ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation is visible, while ionizing radiation is not.

Non-ionizing radiation involves particles, while ionizing radiation involves waves.

The attraction between protons and neutrons.

The repulsion between neutrons and the nucleus.

The repulsion between electrons and protons.

The attraction between electrons and the nucleus.

An atom that is stable and non-radioactive.

An atom with a balanced number of protons and neutrons.

An atom that emits only alpha particles.

An atom with an imbalance in the number of neutrons, making it unstable.

It stabilizes radioactive atoms in the body.

It emits gamma radiation that allows imaging of internal organs.

It emits alpha particles that can be detected by a camera.

It has a long half-life, making it ideal for prolonged tests.

To increase the half-life of radioactive materials.

To promote the use of nuclear weapons.

To regulate the use of nuclear substances and ensure safety.

To develop new nuclear power plants.
