"Radiation waves" is not a very precise term; it might refer to visible light, to other electromagnetic waves such as radio waves or x-rays, etc., to sound waves, including ultrasound, and perhaps a few more. The details of absorption may vary, depending on the type of waves - as well as on the frequency. But in general, when radiation energy is absorbed, it is converted into some other type of energy, such as raising electrons to a higher level, and eventually heating the substance that absorbs it up.
What else can I help you with?
Does lead block radio waves?
Yes, lead can block radio waves because it is a dense material that can absorb and reflect electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves.
How does Saturn not having a ozone effect the EM radiation?
Saturn does not have an ozone layer. It is for that reason it cannot absorb EM waves.
What does it mean for heat to be transferred by radiation?
Energy is transferred when molecules absorb electromagnetic waves.
Do cacti absorb radiation from their environment?
No, cacti do not absorb radiation from their environment. They do not have the ability to absorb radiation like some other plants.
Do all light waves emit radiation?
Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
Does methane absorb infrared radiation?
Yes, methane does absorb infrared radiation.
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
What radiation that travels as waves?
The radiation that travels as waves includes electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays. These waves vary in frequency and energy, with higher frequencies corresponding to more energetic radiation.
Do all objects absorb infra red radiation?
No, not all objects absorb infrared radiation. The ability of an object to absorb infrared radiation depends on its material properties. Different materials have different levels of absorption and reflection of infrared radiation.
A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
Are sounds waves forms of radiation?
No, sound waves are not forms of radiation. Radiation typically refers to the emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles, while sound waves are mechanical waves that vibrate through a medium, such as air or water, to transmit energy.
