Can gamma rays reach the ground from space?
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.
What us uv rays absorbed by?
The UV rays are absorbed by ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
Which is not radioactive beta rays gamma rays or X-rays?
Both beta rays and gamma rays are the products of radioactive decay and are the result of changes in atomic nuclei. X-rays can be generated by using high voltage to accelerate electrons and slam them into a metal target, so they might be said to be non-radioactive.
Which of the metal are not radioactive?
Most metals are stable and thus not radioactive.
What are the 4 radioactive rays produced?
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
Can x rays be absorbed?
YES. X-rays are absorbed by metals and bone (ex: when you get your x-ray taken, all you can see is metal and bones, no skins or tissues).
What are the least commonly used metals?
Radioactive metals like uranium, titanium which emit alpha, beta & gamma rays.
Can gamma rays reach the ground from space?
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.
Which radioactive most easily absorbed?
The most easily absorbed radioactive is Alpha
Ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the?
UV rays are absorbed by ozone layer. These are fatal rays.
What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
How much of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere?
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
What is absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat?
ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat
What type of rays do x rays transmit?
radioactive
Which alkaline earth metals are radioactive?
Radium is the radioactive metal among alkaline earth metals.
What us uv rays absorbed by?
The UV rays are absorbed by ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
What are ultraviolet rays changed into after their absorbed by the earth?
The UV rays are absorbed by the ozone. They change into nothing.
