Not unlike wind, the human eye can't see cosmic rays directly, but their effects can be made quite visible, using various techniques. In cloud or bubble chambers, the cosmic ray collides with sufficient energy to leave a visible trail, albeit somewhat briefly, but the path of the cosmic ray becomes easily apparent. In spark chambers a technique using charged plates can cause sparks to jump between plates when the path of a cosmic ray creates an ionization channel along its path. Other techniques involve materials which will generate light when a cosmic ray strikes its surface, which can trigger electronics to amplify or make audible.
The word 'quantum' may be somewhat redundant in this context; remembering that a cosmic ray is actually made of of particles, be they protons or atomic nuclei traveling at high speed - they are really matter and not electromagnetic radiation as the name might suggest. Since matter does exist in discrete physical units or quanta, loosely one might say that all matter is quantized.

When did Cosmic Quantum Ray end?
Cosmic Quantum Ray ended on 2010-12-09.
Can you stop cosmic ray shower?
No, you cannot stop a cosmic ray shower. You can block cosmic rays using various materials, but you cannot prevent them from entering Earth's atmosphere.
Do cosmic rays cause lightning?
Not really. It's possible that a given stroke of lightning might be precipitated by a cosmic ray, but that's certainly not the only factor, and probably not an important factor.
Why are the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum put in that order?
infrared, ROY G BIV, ultraviolet, xray, gamma ray, cosmic ray That's the order they fall in when you sort them by frequency or wavelength.
Is it true that cosmic ray will appear today?
Cosmic rays are continuously present in space - regardless of what day (or year) it is. Luckily, we are protected from cosmic rays on the surface of the Earth by the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. A small amount of comic rays can still reach the Earth's surface - particularly at higher altitudes.
When was Cosmic Quantum Ray created?
Cosmic Quantum Ray was created on 2010-10-10.
When did Cosmic Quantum Ray end?
Cosmic Quantum Ray ended on 2010-12-09.
When was Cosmic Ray - film - created?
Cosmic Ray - film - was created in 1962.
Can you stop cosmic ray shower?
No, you cannot stop a cosmic ray shower. You can block cosmic rays using various materials, but you cannot prevent them from entering Earth's atmosphere.

What is fullform of ICRR?
Institute for Cosmic Ray Research.
What is a cosmic ray?
Cosmic ray: A ray of radiation of extraterrestrial origin, consisting of one or more charged particles such as protons, alpha particles, and larger atomic nuclei. Cosmic rays entering the atmosphere collide with atoms, producing secondary radiation, such as pions, muons, electrons, and gamma rays. Cosmic rays (and secondary radiation) can be easily seen in a cloud chamber.(American Heritage Dictionary, 2005)
Which ray is used to cure tumors in the medical field?

Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?
Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
Can you destoy the Earth?
yes with the use of a giant quantum ray
What ray can pass through the human body?
Lots of things go right through us. X ray's, Cosmic.
