11.2 The Discovery of Nature of Radioactivity
Radioactivity: The spontaneous emission of radiation from a nucleus.Henry Becquerel, a French physicist, discovered radioactivity in 1896. Henry Becquerel placed a sample of uranium-containing mineral on top of a photographic plate wrapped in black paper. On developing the plate, Becquerel found a silhouette of the mineral on the plate. He concluded some kind of radiation emitted by the mineral passed through the paper and exposed the photographic plate.

21Chapter 22 Slide 21
A Geiger counter determines the amount of ionization by detecting an electric current.
A thin window is penetrated by the radiation and causes the ionization of Ar gas.
The ionized gas carried a charge and so current is produced.
The current pulse generated when the radiation enters is amplified and counted.

22Chapter 22 Slide 22
Biological Effects of Radiation
The penetrating power of radiation is a function of its mass: -rays > -particles >> -particles.
When ionizing radiation passes through tissue it removes an electron from water to form H2O+ ions.
The H2O+ ions react with another water molecule to produce H3O+ and a highly reactive •OH radical.
Free radicals generally undergo chain reactions, producing many radicals in the biomolecules.

Calibration of film dosimeters
In calibrating film badges the object is to obtain a series of curves relating radiation exposure to the blackening of the film.
Different typesof film and holder require different conditions of calibration.
Exposure-absorbance curves should be produced for each new batch of films manufactured, and in addition, for each set of films processed, a few badges should be exposed to known doses to check that there has been no change in the exposure-absorbance curve

Chapter Summary Nuclear reaction: reaction that changes an atomic
nucleus, causing the change of one element into another.
Radioactivity: Spontaneous emission of radiation from nucleus of unstable atom.
radiation, radiation, and radiation are the three major types of radiation.
The rate of nuclear reaction is expressed in units of half life (t1/2).
High energy radiation of all type is known as ionizing radiation.
