Ionization is the process of removing protons from an atom due to the interaction with an electromagnetic wave

This type of particle is a high speed electron released from a nucleus that turns a proton into a neutron

Gamma radiation always occurs along side alpha or beta emission

In this interaction a photon hits an outer shell electron, it removes it and the photon changes its direction and loses energy

A high energy photon is absorbed by a high atomic number atom and an inner shell electron is ejected. Immediately that void is filled by another electron from a higher energy shell

This physicist received the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the photoelectric effect

Characteristic X-rays are produced due to the Compton scattering effect

Becquerels (Bq) are the most basic unit to measure radiation exposure

The number of nuclear disintegrations per kilogram of radioactive material is a measure of?

The Curie (Ci) is a unit of radiation exposure based on the number of disintegrations per second of this radioactive element:

The absorbed dose and the equivalent dose is the same for the case of X-rays

The effective dose changes depending on the target tissue

The exposure to one chest X-Ray exam is equivalent to this amount of natural radiation (background radiation)

This type of radiation gave Hulk his powers
