Determine whether each statement about electromagnetic radiation is true or false. The term “radiation” includes all radio waves and visible light. Visible light has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules. Alpha-particles are the most dangerous to humans if they are swallowed. Beta-particles are unable to travel through human skin. Gamma rays are approximately 1 pm long. Gamma-emission does not alter cither the mass or identity of an atomic nucleus. All nuclear decay processes are governed by first order kinetics. Heating a sample of radioactive material will help to increase the rate of decay.
Expert Answer
False, because the term radiation includes all radio waves, gamma rays, x rays, visible light, infra red rays, uv rays.
False, because Visible light doesn’t have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules.
True, because Gamma rays are approximately less than 10 picometers, so this statement is true.
True,All nuclear decay reactions are first order.
False, because Heating has no effect on decay rate of a radioactive material.
