What ype of radiation ionzing is less penetrating?
1. Alpha Particles are the least penetrating, but do a great deal of radiation damage on the surface of what they hit.2. Beta Particles penetrate to a certain extent depending on their energy.3. Gamma Rays penetrate the most, and a Gamma source requires heavy (lead, etc.) shielding.
Some types of red algae carry on photosynthesis several meters beneath the ocean surface What color light does not penetrate to this depth?
blue
What is vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid?
That would be evaporation; the particles inside the liquid escape from the surface and into the atmosphere/air.
What color light does not penetrate 70 meters beneath the ocean surface?
Red
The particles in a surface water wave move back-and-forth only?

What prevents particles from the sun from reaching the surface?
Charged particles from the Sun will not reach the surface of the Earth because they are mostly deflected around it by the Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere), but where the particles are deflected towards the surface near the Earth's magnetic poles, they interact with the gas high in the atmosphere to form the Auroras and do not penetrate through to the surface.

Are Alpha particles are the most penetrating?
No. Alpha particles, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons - effectively a Helium nucleus - are very heavy (for a decay particle) and readily ionize surface materials. For this reason, they have very low penetration.Alpha particles are not the most penetrating, instead it is the Gamma rays that penetrate better.

Which of these is formed from surface runoff that cannot penetrate the ground?
river ;)

What prevents some of the sun's radiation from reaching earth's surface?
Charged particles from the Sun will not reach the surface of the Earth because they are mostly deflected around it by the Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere), but where the particles are deflected towards the surface near the Earth's magnetic poles, they interact with the gas high in the atmosphere to form the Auroras and do not penetrate through to the surface.
How solid act like a liquid?
Surface tension-Attractive forces cause particles on the surface of a liquid to pull together and resist from being pushed apart. These particles on the surface are pulled toward the center of the liquid and and sideways along the surface. There are no liquid particles above to pull on them. Particles under the surface are pulled in all different directions. Surface tension is the uneven forces acting on the surface particles of a liquid. Surface tension causes a liquid to act like it has a thin film stretched across the surface.
