The Use of Radioactive Radiation (6)

Example of a place or area which displays symbol of the presence of radioactive material or radioactive radiation (1)

Hospital

Example of a place or area which displays symbol of the presence of radioactive material or radioactive radiation (2)

Atomic research center

Example of a place or area which displays symbol of the presence of radioactive material or radioactive radiation (3)

X-ray room

Types of radioactive radiations, which is the least dangerous

Alpha radiation

Reason which the alpha rays is the least dangerous radioactive rays

Alpha rays have the lowest penetrating power

Example of metal that is used to make appropriate protective clothing to handle radioactive substances (1)

Lead (or aluminum)

Advantage of using the lead to make the protective clothing

Lead is a suitable shield from all types of radioactive radiation including gamma rays has a high penetrating power

Advantage of using aluminium to make the protective clothing

The low density of aluminum makes less heavy clothes

Disadvantage of using lead to make the protective clothing

The low density of aluminum makes less heavy clothes

Disadvantage of using aluminium to make the protective clothing

Aluminum is a poor shield against high penetrating gamma rays
