Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. Considering the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation, you could also consider it to be transferred by photons of the electromagnetic radiation. The rate of transfer of radiation is given by the surface area of the radiation source, the surface area of the object receiving the radiation, a geometric coefficient accounting for how much of the radiation from the source actually hits the receiving object, a physical constant called the Stephan-Boltzman constant, the reflectivity, transparency, and absorbtivity of the receiving object for the wavelengths of the radiated energy, and the difference in the 4th power of the thermodynamic temperatures of the objects.
It refracts, reflects, and absorbs light.
The resultant momentum of the two objects will roughly equal that of the dynamic object in magnitude and direction, minus some energy lost due to friction during the collision. Think of what happens when a cue ball hits a stationary ball in pool.
When it hits metal, electromagnetic radiation induces a small signal, which means that random noise can interfere with signals used for communication.
the thingy hits the earht and everybody dies !!! The radiation will either be absorbed or reflected.
it can be transmitted, reflected, refracted or diffused. In most cases, some combination of these occurs.

Light striking an object can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. Light passing near an object can be diffracted. These are all the possible interactions.

When an object absorbs the light that hits it, the object appears dark.
According to Blackbody radiation, the darker the object the more light it will absorb. A perfect example is a radiometer, in a light bulb container, there is a thin pin pointing upwards in the middle of the bulb. Then, a little tube with the pin through it has four surfaces. Each surface has a white side and a dark side. If you put something that radiates heat, then it will spin. Since, one side absorb more radiation then the other side, on side is more denser. As a result, it spins.
UV radiation hits the earth coming from the sun.
It would keep moving at a constant speed in the same direction forever, or until it hits another object.
When all light that hits an object is absorbed by it the object appears black. Similarly we see a wight object when all light that hits the object gets reflected off it!!!!!
