THINK SCIENCE

this is a site developed on author own's imagination on how to make impact in the scientific world. maybe you just sit down and think of something new, know that you could make your opinion known to the world. all you've ever imagined are but inspiration, so you need to remember the inspiration of zeneger in 1912 about the continental shift, though no one believed him, but today, his thought became a reality. so THINK SCIENCE.

WHY YOU MUST SWITCH OFF YOUR HANDSET WHILE IN A PETROL STATION Wednesday, July 9, 2008 on getting to a petrol station, you saw a warning issued openly which read thus: 'switch off your handset' or 'do not receive any phone call while here', accompanied with a danger sign. one may wonder why this was so and what effect could this small object cause the whole system!The answer lies in the fact that GSM operates on a lot of principle.According to the law of radiation; alpha rays are a type of ray with relatively small power or effect. it could be stopped using a sheet of paper. it does not penetrate greatly on soft object, but it has one unique effect, it could ionise to any extent in the presence of any gaseous materials once it is its affinity. it also glows in the presence of zinc sulphide (ZnS).Beta rays on the other side are a group of rays that plays the medium role between alpha and gamma rays. it could be stopped by aluminium foil but it glows in the presence of anthracene.Gamma rays are the most dangerous or the most penetrating of all the primary rays. it could only be stopped by a several kilometres of lead block. it does not ionise in air but it travels faster than any primary radiation. it glows in the presence of zinc sulphide (ZnS) and sodium iodide (NaI).the most intrigue character of these rays is that it always accompanied all other primary rays while they were being produced.Now in the gasoline product, according to the destructive distillation of coal, we have four major products which are: coke, ammoniacal liquor, coal tar, coal gas.Coal tar is a mixture of many products as well. in it we have phenol, xylene, cresol, green oils which include, benzene, anthracene, naphthalene. phenanthrene, naphthacene, coronene and the hosts of others. in it is also present the likes of naphtha which is the solid part of it. we also found many hydrocarbons in it.Now out of all these, we knew that anthracene parleys with beta rays. Also, sodium iodide which is present as impurity in naphtha parleys with Gamma rays.Definitely, our everyday handset contain or data were being transmitted into it mostly via beta-rays; although, this is not feasible as only Gamma rays outfunctioned beta-rays.This was because, Gamma rays always accompanied a little production of beta-rays.So, if you switch on your handset while in petrol station, all those rays were reserved as they were in the ground state. But once a phone call comes in, the call is transmitted through all these rays which excite them as they vibrate. If at that time they were selling petrol or there is any discharge of petrol of great odour, what happens? the anthracene cleft with beta- rays and the gaseous sodium iodide cleft with Gamma-rays. and before you know it; explosion occured.This is a very great exposition and i will like all to take heed to the warning it is rendering.SO NEAR ANY GASOLINE FIZZLEMENT; PLEASE SWITCH OFF YOUR HANDSET. posted by bamgold @ 5:10 PM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
