Question
Identification
1. A type of radiation which can cause ionization in
some atom structures. The ionization can change
the atom's properties. In lifeforms' DNA structure,
it can cause alteration causing positive mutation
or adverse ones such as cancer. Examples are X-
Ray, Gamma Ray, and Cosmic Ray.
2. Most materials release this type of radiation
from OK to about 800K. This type of radiation is
invisible to the naked eye. It has a frequency range
of 2.99792(10^11) hz to 3.99723(10^14) hz.
3. The ratio of radiation's energy to it's frequency
corresponds to what constant?
