In radioactive solids, yes. Any solid material with a half life will emit radiation. Any solid material with unstable isotopes within it will also emit radiation. Heat is infrared radiation, and any solid will radiate heat when the temperature outside it is lower.

∙ 10y agoIf the radiation is more energetic than the plasma then it can travel through it, but it will impart some of its energy to the plasma.

∙ 13y agoSure. But the thicker and more dense the solid is, the more radiation is blocked. A nice, heavy blocker of nuclear radiation is lead.

∙ 11y agoyes, S-Waves can travel through many different types of mediums, such as rock, metal, and various fluids. they only travel through solids.

∙ 11y agoyes. not all solids but yes, some of them. glass for example allows UV rays to pass through.

Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
Which are faster s waves and p waves or surface waves?
The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.
Seismic waves that cannot travel through liquids?
Shear Waves (S Waves) cannot travel through liquid
What is the difference between P-waves and S-waves?
Their velocity (P-waves travel more quickly than S-waves) and their mode of propagation (the way they move through the earth). S-waves are transverse waves which move material from side to side (particle motion is normal to direction of travel) whereas P-waves are compression or longitudinal waves where particle motion is parallel to the direction of travel. This means that P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
How have scientists determined that the outer layer is liquid?
Seismic waves can be separated into basically two different types; S-waves and P-waves. P-waves are able to travel through liquid and solid, but S-waves can not travel through a liquid, they can only travel through a solid. When scientist "shoot" P and S-waves at the outer core, they detect the P-waves coming out the other side, but not the S-waves.
What can p waves travel through?
S waves usually travel through most things and are felt as the massive shocks after an earthquake. At times the radiation caused by these s waves may cause green pigmentation in your skin. Therefore, s waves are able to travel through skin. On one occasion, s waves were observed to have travelled through dirt, and the endoplasmic reticulum of the element water. In response to your question, s waves seem to generally be able to travel on earth. But due to the gravitational inertia of the Earth's spin, s-waves can travel in symmetric circular paths meaning that dipoles of the magnetic field on Earth will cancel and results in a non-polar s wave.
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?
While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.
Which layers can S-waves travel through?
s-waves travel through solids only
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
How are p-and s-waves arrival time differences related to the distance of a city away from an epicenter?
p waves are normally faster than s waves s waves have trouble sometimes going through solid rock while p waves travel straight through rock.
Seismic waves that cannot travel through liquids?
Shear Waves (S Waves) cannot travel through liquid
Which are faster s waves and p waves or surface waves?
The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.
