Radiation Appications

The peaceful applications came in less than a decade after the Bomb was of
exploded in Heroshima and Nagasaki it is said that in no other field if physics
where the applications develop as quickly so that of radioactivity and nuclear
energy

Radiation, is the process transmitting energy through space

-----------------

Food Agriculture

Food
Anything eaten to satisfy appetite and to meet physiological needs for growth to
maintain all body process and to supply energy to maintain body temperature
and activity

Agriculture
Art science and industry of managing the growth of plants and animals for human
use in a broad sense agriculture includes cultivation of the soil; growing and
harvesting crops breeding and raising livestock, dairying and forestry

IONIZING RADIATION

- Electromagnetic radiation carrying sufficient energy to bring changes in

atoms that is strikes
- Has been used for several decades to produce new genetic lines of rice,
sorghum, garlic, wheat, bananas, beans, avocado and peppers all of
which are more adoptable to harsh climate conditions

Ionizing radiation
Has different penetrating properties that are important in the study and use of
radioactive materials. Naturally occurring alpha rays are stop by the thickness of
a few sheets of paper or a rubber glove. Beta rays stopped by a few centimeters
of word. Gamma rays and x-rays depending on their energies require thick
shielding of a heavy natural such as iron, lead or concrete.
FOOD IRRADIATION

- Is a food preservation option

- Is a very useful in preventing growth of molds in herbs and spices

STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE

- which means has been tested and used in the island province of guimaras
to combat the fruit flies that infest and damage mango fruits.

The Age of the Earth debate

The controversy, which embroiled archbishop user, james hutton, Lord Kerlven,
Ernest Rutherford, Betram Boltwood and Arthur Home has aged the earth 4.5
billion years during the psat centuries

DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPHY

Diagnosis
In medicine, the determination of the nature of a decease, modern diagnosis
combine the taking of the patients health historyand physical examination and
laboratory and radiological examinations (some deseases, such as measles and
mumps).

Therapy, any of various techniquez use in the treatment of physical or mental

illness, theraphy is used not only during the course of a disease and also often
recovery of the patients suffers linguering effects. Although some disorders
maybe treated by only one form of theraphy a combination of therapeutic
techniques is often required

Radioisotopic Tracing
 - is a technique using small amounts of short lived radioactive isotopes
injected in to the patients body. A radiation therapy is commonly used to
treat concerns in the treatment of cancers, the purpose is to cause
damage particularly to cancer cells

Radioactive Dating
- am entirely different use of radioactivity us radioactive dating
- a nounn of archaeology same as radiometric dating the process knowing
the rate of the isotopes decays, they can determine how much time has
passed

URANIUM DATING
- uranium dating is used to determine the age of the Earth’s, the Moon, or
the solar system
- used to date relatively old, inorganic, samples; carbon dating for relatively
young plant and animal remains.

Carbon Dating
- uses the decay of the carbon isotope
- a method of dating organic remains based on their content of carbon.
- Method for determining the approximate age of ancient objects by
measuring the amount of carbon they contain.
