What happens to light energy that is absorbed?
when a material absorbs light it can be reflected,scattered, absorbed, refracted,or it can pass through with no effect
What material can be use to block gamma radiation?
Not much because Gamma rays are passing through the earth right now as I type but i think that lead can block some or most of it.
What radioactive emission has the greatest penetrating power?
hi my names princess and i think that the answer is GAMMA RAYS if I'm right can you tell me
What radiation is the hardest to shield?
Of the normally known types of radiation, (Alpha, Beta and Gamma), Gamma radiation is the most penetrative. However, Neutrino radiation is the most penetrative radiation of all, it will pass right through the planet with no trouble. Neutrinos however do not harm you as they pass.
Which describes a reflected image in a plane mirror?
the image is right-left reversed and about as far away from the mirror as the reflected object

What does solar radiation produce when it strikes the Earth?
Most solar energy when it hits the atmosphere goes right through and warms the surface of the earth. The warmed surface of the earth radiates infra-red heat into the atmosphere where some of it is captured by greenhouse gases. The more greenhouse gas there is, then the warmer the atmosphere becomes.

What does a gamma wave do in an X-ray machine?
A gamma ray might have a good chance of going right through the X-ray machine. Remember that the X-ray machine creates X-rays and not gamma rays to perform its function.
Which particles make moon reflect sun light?
When light hits any kind of matter, the light can be reflected or absorbed, or the light can pass right through. Very few kinds of matter are entirely transparent, so light is generally either reflected or absorbed. Light will be reflected from almost ANY matter that is not absolutely flat "matte" black. Even a 2% or 3% reflectivity or "albedo" will make the object visible, and the surface of the Moon is about 12% reflective. Because so much sunlight hits the Moon, even a 12% reflectivity makes the Moon "shine" quite brightly.
What happens to light waves when it strikes an object?
light can do one of 4 things. it can, a] bounce off of an object, b] get absorbed, or c] be dispersed. this happens when white light goes through a prism, and comes out as all colors of the visible spectrum, ROYGBIV. [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet] and refract d]
Is there a formula for all the mach speeds?
:<math>{M}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\gamma-1}\left[\left(\frac{q_c}{P}+1\right)^\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}-1\right]}</math>
Which eye part is reflected by motiyabind?
right

Can gamma rays make sun burns?
no they cant because gamma rays are waves and are so powerful they can simply go right through you without causing you to much harm. beta can be fatal and so can alpha if given in a large quantity inside someone.
What in the atmosphere asorbs energy?
The atmosphere is transparent to the visible light of the Sun. So it passes right through, only to get absorbed by the surface of the Earth.
Does diarrhea affect birth control?
Believe it or not, it can. It all depends on how quickly stuff is moving through your system. If your birth control is going right through you and not getting absorbed, you could get pregnant.
