Compare and contrast both densely-ionizing and sparsely-ionizing radiation.

Physics
1 answer:
kherson [118]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Radiation biology is the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms, when this radiation is absorbed in biologic material, ionization and excitations occur in a pattern that depends on the type of radiation involved, considering how far the primary ionization events are separated in space, radiation can be sparsely ionizing (for example, an x-ray or a gamma-ray) or densely ionizing (for example, a proton or an alpha particles).

<em>DNA is the most critical biological target because of the limited redundancy of the genetic information it contains, most lesions are reparable, but those produced by densely ionizing radiation are generally less reparable than those produced by sparsely ionizing radiation. Densely ionizing (high LET) radiations, therefore, typically have a higher relative biological effectiveness.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A fruit drink says that it is healthier than soda. What is the purpose of this claim?
alexdok [17]

It depends where its saying this. If its and advertisment then the purpose is to use health facts in order to persuade the reader to buy the fruit drink,if its in an artical then probably someone with a bias against soda is trying to convince you to switch to drinking fruit juice.

Write the equation of the line that has an undefined slope and passes through the point (4, 7). User: What is the slope of a lin
DerKrebs [107]
<u>For the first question we use point-slope form of an equation</u>

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})
y=m(x-x_{1})+y_{1}

then we plug in the known values

y=m(x-4)+7

we leave the slope as variable m since it is undefined

<u>For Question 2
</u>
A line that is parallel to the x-axis is a horizontal line and since the slope of a line is defined as the Δy/Δx (change in y/change in x) and the change in y is 0 at any 2 points observed on the line the slope is 0. (0/any number is 0)

<u>For Question 3
</u>
Following the same relationship as question 2 we can solve for the slope.

Δy/Δx
y_{1}-y _{2}/x_{1}-x_{2}

now we plug in the known values from the two points given

(5-7)/(-3-1)
-2/-4
m=1/2 or 0.5

<u><em>and For the Final Question</em></u>

a translation left or right is done by affecting the x variable if you add 2 to x then the x value will have to be 2 less to get the same result...in other words when x is 1 the value of y is also 1...but if I wanted the whole equation translated left 2 unites then I would want the same y-value at an x-value 2 smaller... in other words, in our example x will be -1 when y is 1. For this value found on the graph to match the equation our x value must have 2 added to it in the equation....therefore the equation that translates y=|x| two units left is...

y=|x+2|
