Back-scatter radiation occurs when high-energy particles, such as X-rays or gamma rays, interact with matter and are deflected back toward the source of the radiation. This process typically involves the scattering of photons off electrons in the material, resulting in a change in the direction of the photons. Back-scatter radiation is commonly used in security scanning technologies, as it allows for the detection of concealed objects by analyzing the energy and intensity of the scattered radiation. The presence of different materials alters the back-scattered signal, enabling the identification of various substances.
The sun gives off radiation. An x-ray machine gives off radiation.
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
A banana is a non-example of radiation.
Prime example of radiation in our every day life is the heat we get from the sun (mostly radiation heat)
It depends on the nature and amount of radiation you want shielding from.
Backscatter radiation in radiography refers to the radiation that is scattered back towards the source after interacting with an object or material being imaged. This type of radiation can degrade image quality by introducing noise, making it harder to distinguish between different structures in the image. It is important for radiographers to be aware of backscatter effects and take measures to minimize it, such as using appropriate shielding and positioning.
T-223 A lead symbol "B" with minimum dimensions of 1/2in, in height and 1/16in, in thickness, shall be attached to the back of each film holder during each exposure to determine if backscatter radiation is exposing the film.
The cost of each backscatter machine used by the TSA varies depending on the specific model and features. On average, a backscatter machine can cost anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000.

Ionizing radiation can cause cancer.
True - they work by using microwave radiation.
because without radiation it wouldn't have access to web without it
Rainbows are caused by backscatter. If the sun is out, and it is raining, look in the direction opposite from the sun, and you may see a rainbow.

Radiation can interact with both atoms and molecules, but it does not necessarily need them to work. Radiation can propagate through a vacuum, such as in space, where there are very few atoms or molecules. However, when in contact with matter, radiation can cause ionization or excitation in atoms and molecules.
Interstitial radiation therapy places the sources of radiation directly into the tumor and surrounding tissue.
