Ultraviolet light travels through the earths atmosphere. Some is absorbed by ozone, which is especially prevalent in the stratosphere between 13 and 20 kilometers above sea level.
of course they do!
Gamma rays have always reached Earth since the birth of the solar system, however, thankfully, since our planet possess an atmosphere, the ozone layer have blocked the harmful rays like X-ray, gamma ray and UV light.
Some cosmic rays indeed can and do get through the atmosphere and reach ground level; they have been detectable underwater and in early experiments were even shown to penetrate about two inches of metal. The degree to which they penetrate depends on factors such as their energy and trajectory. However the atmosphere does provide significant protection, as does the Earth's magnetic field, such that, by the time they reach the ground they would present only a trivial health risk. Remembering that cosmic rays are particles and not electromagnetic radiation, the moment they enter the atmosphere they are highly prone to collision with air particles, which absorb the energy and create a secondary shower from the collisions, that may then in turn cause tertiary collisions with still other particles. Although these are still referred to as cosmic rays when detected they are often only collision products at ground level. Electronics employing miniaturization, such as modern microelectronics, can be prone to errors and damage from cosmic rays particularly at high altitudes or when leaving the atmosphere in spacecraft, and thus need to employ hardening techniques and methods to tolerate fault.
Yes. Some frequencies are absorbed or scattered, but many do get through.
Infrared rays are Electromagnetic waves so yes, it is possible for them to pass through the atmosphere. I do not think they cause any ill effects, however.
Yes, that is why you tan!
No
Yes, gamma rays will pass through an egg.
They have less mass than other rays. Gamma rays are basically a wave, like sound.
Yes, they do.
gamma rays pass through the body by being absorbed by the skin and entering your body causing internal and external damage.
The answer is gamma rays.
Yes. Our atmosphere blocks cosmic and solar gamma rays.
Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.
UV-Rays, X-rays, and Gamma Rays are filtered out by the atmosphere.
The atmosphere absorbs X rays.
yes
the earths atmosphere absorbs the radiation or reflects it i cant remember which i think it is a combination of both
Yes, gamma rays will pass through an egg.
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma rays are absorbed by our atmosphere
The atmosphere protects the earth, it abosrbs the gamma rays and other harmful light rays
The Atmosphere
Gamma rays from space are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. However, gamma rays can still be detected on the ground as it is naturally emitted by radioactive decay occurring in rocks.
