What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
Why neutron are more penetrating than other radiation?
I'm going to assume that you're wondering why they can travel through matter so easily, which is kind of a layman's term for asking why their cross section is so low. There's a number of reasons: - They have almost no mass, so they travel at nearly the speed of light. - They have no charge so they don't interact electromagnetically. - They don't decay. - They have no color so they aren't bound, unlike quarks. - They only interact via the weak nuclear force, who's range is about 10-18m This is why a neutrino can easily travel through a light-year of lead without interacting.
Three types of materials that interact with light?
transparent, translucent, and opaque. All 'materials' (i.e. made of matter) interact with em wave energy (which includes light). Humans can detect some but not all of those interactions.
How fast does light travel in five minutes?
Light travels at a constant velocity, no matter what time it is given to travel. Light would travel at exactly 299,792,458 ms-1 in five minutes, but only in a vacuum.
How do you differentiate light waves from sound waves?
You can see light waves (or particles . . .) but you cannot hear them. sound must travel thru matter , light can travel thru vacuum
How can visible light interact with matter?
The matter absorbs or reflects the light.
What three ways can light interact with matter?
when a light is shining a peice of matter can et in the way of the light
What colour is dark matter?
Dark matter is invisible. It doesn't interact with light.
Do electromagnetic waves need molecules to travel?
No, electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel. However, they can interact with matter and change accordingly.
What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
How do light waves affect matter?
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
What phase of matter does light travel fastest in?
Light travels in the air phase of matter compared to the liquids and solids.
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
What is the limitation of science and technology?
The limitation of science and technology is the ability to travel at the speed of light and in order to travel at the speed of light we would need to find a way to not interact with the higgs boson. Since we are interacting with the higgs boson we can not travel at the speed of light.
Which travels faster airwatersoundor light?
Light. No ordinary matter can travel at or faster than the speed of light.
How does light interact with matter in waves or particles?
Through four processes. Emission, transmission, absorption, and reflection.
What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.
