| The momentary high voltage on the metal plate provides the necessary energy to ionize the xenon gas, making the gas conductive. |
|
| Other detectors depend on the electrons from a decay to ionize other atoms and produce an electric current proportional to the decay energy. |
|
| When high energy ionizing radiation strikes a biological sample, e.g., the human body, it will ionize molecules within the sample. |
|
| Once removed from an atom, an electron may in turn ionize other atoms or molecules. |
|
| In fairness, any radiation that can ionize an atom can affect chemical changes in a substance. |
|
| The photons can break apart, or ionize, molecules and atoms of the atmosphere into protons and electrons, producing plasma. |
|
| This will also release secondary electrons that will in turn ionize more noble gas atoms. |
|
| Another possibility is to ionize the air and avoid the electrostatic charge on the plastic. |
|
| Electrons are accelerated towards the anode and ionize the noble gas atoms. |
|
| Radioactive elements in the sample or in the surrounding environment ionize the atoms in crystalline quartz, and the electrons become trapped by crystal defects. |
|
| The PID sensor in the PHD6 uses a lamp to ionize the gas sample and generate a reading. |
|
| This form of radiation does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. |
|
| Founded in 2002, Airvitamin's main goal is to ionize and purify both air and water. |
|
| Calculate the minimum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation required to knock it free i.e. to ionize a neon atom. |
|
| The hypothesis is that cosmic radiation can ionize aerosols within the atmosphere, and thus affect cloud formation processes. |
|
| Unlike incandescent lamps, which generate lighting by heating a filament, discharge lamps ionize a vapour to produce light. |
|
| Alpha particles emitted by the americium ionize the air, making the air conductive. |
|
| Despite this very low energy, these particles possess sufficient energy to ionize atoms and molecules. |
|
| Figure 2: Left: time evolution of the number QHI of photons able to ionize hydrogen, for a population of stars born at the same time. |
|
| When the charged particles of the solar wind hit the atmosphere, various gases present in the atmosphere heat up, split apart molecules, and ionize atoms. |
|
|
|
| The X-rays ionize the lowest part of the ionosphere, causing radio communication blackouts, and can also be a severe hazard for astronauts. |
|
| In a Geiger-Müller tube, or Geiger counter, incoming X-ray photons ionize atoms in a gas-filled volume. |
|
| The PID sensor employs an ultraviolet lamp to ionize the VOCs in the sample. |
|
| For compounds that ionize well in both modes, you get both positive and negative spectra, increasing the confidence in your results. |
|
| These free electrons may themselves ionize additional neutral species. |
|
| Recall that the intensity of the radiation is not important, it is the photon energy that determines whether or not photons will break molecular bonds or ionize an atom. |
|
| The radiation decay products ionize genetic material, causing mutations that sometimes turn cancerous. |
|
| Iontophoresis is a technology that delivers pharmaceuticals transdermally using electric current to ionize drug molecules and propel them through the skin. |
