Most common garter snakes have a pattern of yellow stripes on a brown or green background, and their average total length (including tail) is about 55 cm (22 in), with a maximum total length of about 137 cm (54 in). The average body mass is 150 g (5.3 oz).
Centigray is a radiation absorbed dose measurement unit. A centigray (cGy) is a derived metric (SI) measurement unit of absorbed radiation dose of ionizing radiation, e.g. X-rays. The SI prefix centi stands for one hunfredths.
Radiation Basics Radiation. Ionizing radiation is radiation with enough kinetic energy so that during an interaction with an atom, it can remove tightly bound electrons from their orbits, causing the atom to become charged or Ionized. Some examples of ionizing radiation include alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Non-ionizing radiation, therefore, is radiation that does not ionize the atoms around it. Some examples of non-ionizing radiation include sunlight, microwaves, radio-waves, and visible light waves. When most people talk about radiation, they are talking about ionizing radiation.
