Is radiation stopped by anything?
It depends on the type of radiation. Alpha can be stopped with a few inches of air, or even a sheet of paper. Beta can be stopped with a sheet of metal. Gamma and neutron takes lead and/or concrete, sometimes several feet. Neutrinos can hardly be stopped by anything - they travel through the Earth with ease.
What is the layer of the earth's atmosphere ionized by solar radiation?
Not sure about it. But I remembered this layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere or the thermosphere.
Is gamma radiation stopped by an electric field?
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.
Which type of electromagnetic wave would reflect from the ionosphere?
shortwave radio band
This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?
The Ionosphere
What is the type of radiation stopped in the ionosphere?
Eletromagnetic radiation with a frequency below the ionosphere's plasma frequency will generally be reflected. The specific frequency depends on the density of ionospheric plasma which can vary at different altitudes, but also different geomagnetic latitudes and from day to night. For a typical daytime mid-latitude ionosphere, the most dense part of the ionosphere, (the "F" region), will reflect radio frequencies up to ~2.8Mhz (assuming an electron density of 1e11 m-3).
Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere and what are the ionosphere's characteristics?
The thermosphere contains the ionosphere. The ionosphere is the layer that is ionized by the solor radiation.
What are the characteristic of ionosphere?
The distinguishing characteristic of the ionosphere is that it is ionized by solar radiation.
What is ionosphere?
The ionosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation.
What is a characteristic of the ionosphere?
The ionosphere's distinguishing characteristic is that it is ionized by solar radiation.
Which type of electromagnet radiation is used in satellite communication networks?
Microwaves. These poke through the ionosphere to reach the satellite
What is a fact on the ionosphere?
# Radiation makes this zone ionized.
Which type of radiation can only be stopped by a thick lead sheet or very thick concrete?
Gamma radiation
The exosphere Is filled with electrically charged ions?
This is primarily the ionosphere that contains the ions.
What is the ionosphere made up of?
The ionosphere exists because of the absorption of radiation from the sun. It is made up of electrically charged gas particles.
What type of radiation may be stopped by protective clothing and a mask and can damage skin and produce a burn similar to a thermal burn?
Beta Radiation
Can radioactive technology work without the ionosphere?
I assume you mean fission technologies as aftificial fusion is yet to work except under extremely controlled lab conditions. The answer is yes for fission power generation, fission is caused by the instability of large atoms. No ionizing radiation would affect the fission of atoms generating heat. However if a certain type of radiation was required (for certain medical procedures for example), it could not be preformed in the ionosphere except in a radiation shielded room because other radition types are present in the ionosphere.
