What else can I help you with?
In a vacuum the speed of ultraviolet radiation is faster than the speed of light?
no
What are two type forms of radiation?
Two types of radiation are electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays and microwaves, which travel in waves at the speed of light; and particle radiation, such as alpha and beta particles, which consist of high-speed particles emitted from a radioactive source.
Is a speed of light faster than liquid?
The speed of electromagnetic radiation of all kinds, including light, is faster than the speed of anything else.
How fast does alpha radiation move?
alpha radiations travel with different speed depending upon the source they are emitted from
What is Cherenkov radiation?
Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated when subatomic particles pass through matter at a speed faster than the speed of light through that type of matter. It is somewhat analogous to the sonic boom generated when objects pass through air faster than the speed of sound; except Cherenkov radiation is an electromagnetic phenomenon and a sonic boom is a sound phenomenon. Cherenkov radiation is usually seen as blue light. It is most commonly seen in the water surrounding nuclear reactor cores (see photo above), but can also occur in any transparent material (e.g. air, plastic, glass) when it is exposed to enough high speed subatomic particle radiation.
Which form of radiation is the same as an electron?
Beta minus radiation is a stream of electrons.
What is the scientific name for blue fires?
The scientific name for blue fire is "Cherenkov radiation." It is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle, such as an electron, travels through a medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium.
what is the modes of heat transfere?
radiation radiation travels at the speed of light, which is very quick diffusion is slow. convention is faster than diffusion.
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
An earth satellite in a elliptical moves with what speed?
The speed is variable; faster while closer to the Earth, and slower further away. But the actual speed varies by the orbital distance.
What happens when something moves faster than the speed of the wave it is emitting?
When something moves faster than the speed of the wave it is emitting, it creates a phenomenon called "Cherenkov radiation." This radiation manifests as a blue glow and occurs when an object travels through a medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium, such as in certain nuclear reactions or particle accelerators.
Is speed of earth faster than sound?
The Earth travels at about 66000 miles per hour around the sun, much faster than the speed of sound which is about 750 miles per hour. Even as the Earth rotates, a point on the equator travels at a little over 1000 miles per hour so parts of the planet are faster than the speed of sound even without the orbit around the sun.
