Does white plastic absorb or transmit solar radiation?
White anything will REFLECT radiation, it will not transmit or absorb.
What sort of radiation absorbs or reflect radiation?
It doesn't absorb clever. It penetrates, and it can penetrate paper, smoke, a layer of skin and thin aluminium.
Does black absorb or reflect?
Black absorbs radiation. A perfectly black body would absorb all the radiation that is incident upon it.
Which object or material reflects infrared rays?
All materials will reflect, absorb and transmit (allow to pass through) electromagnetic radiation. This is called the Transmit/Reflect (T/R) ratio and it will vary for a material based on the wavelength of the incident radiation. IR radiation does not transmit through most materials. It is absorbed/reflected. Metalized Mylar has a small transmit/reflect ratio.
What colours absorb most radiation?
visible
What materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
What are good absorbers of heat?
Good absorbers of heat radiation are like basically materials which are dark in colour. Because for some reason they tend to absorb more radiation than light coloured materials.
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
For a solar collector to collect solar radiation what materials can be used?
Simple materials can be used like black plastic or metal pipe. You want materials that will absorb heat and transmit that heat to the liquid.
Is food and drink a natural source of radiation?
Most background radiation comes from natural sources, while most artificial radiation, plants absorb radioactive materials from the soil and these pass up the food chain.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
Do all molecules absorb infrared radiation?
No all molecules do not absorb infrared radiation. Some of them do.
Does white plastic absorb or transmit solar radiation?
White anything will REFLECT radiation, it will not transmit or absorb.
What sort of radiation absorbs or reflect radiation?
It doesn't absorb clever. It penetrates, and it can penetrate paper, smoke, a layer of skin and thin aluminium.
Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
Do cactuses absorb radiation?
Yes cactus do absorb radiation. But they do it for a limited range.
