The Secrets of Atomic Radiation by Dr. Mohammad Al-Jarallah Professor, Department of Physics King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

The Secrets of Atomic Radiation Hadeed2 Abstract Atomic radiation as a phenomenon is as old as the universe itself. It is a normal part of nature and life. At this very moment, thousands of rays are penetrating your body every second. The majority of radiation originates in nature and is totally independent of what man does. Today, our environment also contains a small amount of extra “unnatural” radiation which is caused by the activities of mankind. Atomic radiation as a phenomenon is as old as the universe itself. It is a normal part of nature and life. At this very moment, thousands of rays are penetrating your body every second. The majority of radiation originates in nature and is totally independent of what man does. Today, our environment also contains a small amount of extra “unnatural” radiation which is caused by the activities of mankind. The use of radiation has become an integral part of modern life. From the x-ray picture of broken limb to the treatment of cancer, the medical applications of radiation are now accepted as commonplace, and x-ray facilities are available in almost every community hospital. The use of radiation has become an integral part of modern life.

Radiation contributes in the production of electricity, agriculture, and in other industry. Radiation contributes in the production of electricity, agriculture, and in other industry. In my lecture I will try to describe in simple terms, what ionizing radiation to which man is exposed and second to review its sources and then I will shed a light on the applications of radiation in different walks of life.

The Secrets of Atomic Radiation Hadeed4 1 - The Atom Radiation cannot be understood without knowing a little about the structure of the atom, since ultimately all radiation originates inside the atom. The atom resembles a miniature solar system. In the center of the atom is the nucleus, while electrons orbit around it, rather as planets more around the sun. Radiation cannot be understood without knowing a little about the structure of the atom, since ultimately all radiation originates inside the atom. The atom resembles a miniature solar system. In the center of the atom is the nucleus, while electrons orbit around it, rather as planets more around the sun. The nucleus contain almost all of the weight and substance of the atom; it is build up of protons, which are about the same size as a proton but do not carry an electric charge. The nucleus contain almost all of the weight and substance of the atom; it is build up of protons, which are about the same size as a proton but do not carry an electric charge. The electrons in orbit are tiny particles, nearly 2000 times smaller than a proton or a neutron. The inside of the atom is almost all unoccupied space!. The analogy with the solar system?
