Answer:
Radiation effects on electrical equipment depend on the equipment and on the type of ionizing radiation to which it is exposed.
First, beta radiation has little, if any, effect on electrical equipment because this type of ionizing radiation is easily shielded. The equipment housing and the construction of the parts within the housing will protect the equipment from beta-radiation (high-energy electrons) exposure.
Gamma radiation is penetrating and can affect most electrical equipment. Simple equipment (like motors, switches, incandescent lights, wiring, and solenoids) is very radiation resistant and may never show any radiation effects, even after a very large radiation exposure. Diodes and computer chips (electronics) are much more sensitive to gamma radiation. To give you a comparison of effects, it takes a radiation dose of about 5 Sv to cause death to most people. Diodes and computer chips will show very little functional detriment up to about 50 to 100 Sv. Also, some electronics can be "hardened" (made to be not affected as much by larger gamma radiation doses) by providing shielding or by selecting radiation-resistant materials.
Some electronics do exhibit a recovery after being exposed to gamma radiation, after the radiation is stopped. But the recovery is hardly ever back to 100% functionality. Also, if the electronics are exposed to gamma radiation while unpowered, the gamma radiation effects are less.
Ionizing radiation breaks down the materials within the electrical equipment. For example, when wiring is exposed to gamma rays, no change is noticed until the wiring is flexed or bent. The wire's insulation becomes brittle and will break and may cause shorts in the equipment. The effect on diodes and computer chips is a bit more complex. The gamma rays disrupt the crystalline nature of the inside of the electronic component. Its function is degraded and then fails as more gamma radiation exposure is received by the electronic component.
Gamma rays do not affect the signals within the device or the signals received by the device. Nonionizing radiation (like radio signals, microwaves, and electromagnetic pulses) DO mess with the signals within and received by the device. I put a cheap electronic game in my microwave oven at home. It arced and sparked and was totally ruined. I didn’t waste any more of my time playing that game.
Hope this helps.

A serial dilution is the stepwise dilution of a substance in solution. Usually the dilution factor at each step is constant, resulting in a geometric progression of the concentration in a logarithmic fashion.
Answer:
0.550
Explanation:
The absorbance (A) of a substance depends on its concentration (c) according to Beer-Lambert law.
A = ε . <em>l</em> . c
where,
ε: absorptivity of the species
<em>l</em>: optical path length
A 45 mM phosphate solution (solution A) had an absorbance of 1.012.
A = ε . <em>l</em> . c
1.012 = ε . <em>l</em> . 45 mM
ε . <em>l</em> = 0.022 mM⁻¹
We can find the concentration of the second solution using the dilution rule.
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
45mM . 11mL = C₂ . 20.0 mL
C₂ = 25 mM
The absorbance of the second solution is:
A = (ε . <em>l</em> ). c
A = (0.022 mM⁻¹) . 25 mM = 0.55 (rounding off to 3 significant figures = 0.550)
Secondary succession occurs more rapidly than primary because soil is already available so there is no need for any other species. Also, there might still be surviving species in the soil present like seeds, roots and other plant organs.
