Why are infrared waves easily blocked?
IR rays are just electromagnetic rays so the properties of infrared rays resemble to those of EM waves which can be easily blocked by thick materials. Lead is commonly used to block them.
How do radiowaves work?
The principle of radio waves is that change of current strength will generate waves. Advantage of this special phenomenon information can be loaded on the waves through modulation.when radio waves arriving receive side through space the change of electromagnetic field generated by waves will lead to current in conductor To extract information from change of current and reach the purpose of messaging.
What travels through empty space and through matter?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Why do radiographers wear a lead apron?
to absorb all the gamma rays
What are mediums for light waves?
Light is considered a self-propagating wave. So it does not need a medium, which is why it reaches the earth from the sun. The mediums which dont absorb the light (and therefore allow light to travel through it) depend on the wave length of light. For example a gamma ray (has a very short wavelength) can travel through metal and takes a block of lead to absorb it.
Why does radioactivity lead to genetic mutations?
The high-energy particles and electromagnetic waves of radiation damage macromolecules, including DNA.

What is transfferd by electromagnetic waves?
Good question! Electromagnetic energy is transferred. Because wave is nothing but a passage of disturbance produced at one point to the other by wave propagation. As electric and magnetic variations lead to building up of other forms of energy we consider this as transfer of electromagnetic energy
Why are cell phones good for you?
Radio waves from cell phones can lead to brain cancer so yes

What metal have the property to absorb a lot of heat?
lead
Can you get lead poison from a pellet from a pellet gun?
You can get lead poison from any form of lead if you ingest or absorb enough of it.
A material or substance that does not stop or absorb x-rays is?
lead
Why do radiographers wear a lead apron?
to absorb all the gamma rays
A capacitive device in a single phase ac circuit causes the current waves to?
Lead the voltage waves
Does gold or lead resist corrosion better?
Gold. Lead rapidly oxidizes to a powdery white material that used to be used as a base for paint pigments.
