What kind of energy is sun?
The sun gives off heat, light, and radiation energy
What is the relationship between the intensity of the radiation given off from a radiation source and distance from the radiation source?
The source doesn't care how far you are from it, or whether you're even there, andthere's no relationship between that and the intensity of the radiation it gives off.However, the intensity of the radiation that you receivefrom it is inversely proportionalto the square of your distance from it ... same math as for gravity.
Can energy be created if no then why is sun is considered as the source of energy?
Energy cannot be created, not even in the Sun. If saying that the Sun is a "source" of energy gives you this impression... well, it doesn't actually create the energy. It only converts energy - from the potential energy (nuclear energy) available in the hydrogen-1, which is the fuel the Sun uses. Once it uses its fuel up, there will be no more. If anybody says the Sun is a "source" of energy, that simply means we get the energy from the Sun. This sort of statement doesn't analyze in more detail where the energy comes from.
What type of energy does a microwave produce?
Radio waves - radiation don't worry everything gives off some kind of radiation even you
What are the three stages of a radiation journey?
1) Emission (the source gives out the radiation) 2) Journey (the radiation travels through the medium (which could be any substance or a vacuum) 3) Detection (the radiation is absorbed by another object
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
Is Nuclear power the only energy source which gives off radiation?
No, coal puts large amounts of uranium oxides into the atmosphere through its stacks.
Is the sun's energy radiation?
If you refer to how the sun gets it's power, that comes from nuclear fusion. Should you mean to ask if what energy it gives of is radiation, then yes.
How is nuclear energy accessible to the public?
the sunlight gives off a form of radiation which causes sun burns.
What is the name of the metal that creates nuclear energy?
Hydrogen gives off radiation, but uranium is more known for it's nuclear radioactivity due to its use in nuclear reactors.
Name the process by which the Sun releases energy from hydrogen?
it gives off radiation which turns into energy
What makes the sun a nuclear light source?
The sun is a nuclear light source because you can see light, right? The sun gives out light energy so you can see in the daylight.
Did the light from the hiroshima bomb blind people?
Yes they were. See the nuclear explosion gives off radiation. you could get blind by the light, or radiation, radiation is energy transmitted in rays. So yes.
What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
An element that gives off nuclear radiation?
Radium is an example
An element that gives off nuclear radiation is said to be?
Radioactive
Is Nuclear power the best source for clean electricity?
While there are no electricity sources that are one hundred percent clean for the environment, nuclear energy is close to the top of best energy sources. While nuclear energy will give a radioactive material, there are no dangerous air emissions, because nuclear energy gives off steam.
