This is a very difficult question to answer as it does not specify the type of radiation.
As different materials react differently to different types of radiation it is essential to know the type of radiation.

Does u.v. rays go through metal?
No uv rays do not go through metal -Cybil
How ozone effects living things?
It irritates the Eyes, throat, lungs. It can also harm plants and other living things and damage many materials. It absorbs UV-B or more energetic light, that would otherwise reach Earth's surface. UV-B damages DNA, passing through skin (or leaf structures) that is transparent to UV-B.
What is optical center of lens?
The optical center of the lens is a point on the axis of a lens is the point where any ray passing through this point, the incident part and the emergent part are parallel. It is important for the proper refraction of light.
Can the earth be xrayed?
You'd need an extremely large X-ray machine. In practice, the Earth is far too thick for X-rays to stand any chance whatsoever of passing through it. The fact that the core is mostly metal (which tends to be pretty opaque to X-rays) doesn't help.
Do X-rays cause and cure cancer?
Almost never. X rays do not have enough energy to damage skin tissue or any body tissue. You would have to go through thousands of x rays to have even the slightest chance.
What effect has the condenser lens on light rays passing through it?
The condenser adjusts the amount of light passing through the specimen.
What doesn't permit the passage of x-rays?
Materials with high atomic numbers, such as lead, and dense substances like bone or metal, can block the passage of x-rays due to their ability to absorb and scatter the radiation. The level of attenuation depends on factors like the thickness and density of the material through which the x-rays are passing.
What is a piece of clear material that bends light rays passing through it?
Glass.reflection
Causes light rays passing through it to meet at a focal point?
A lens.
What causes light rays passing through it to diverge?
double concave lens
What causes light rays passing through it to refract?
double concave lens
What process does a lens use to deflect light rays passing through it?
transparency
What is the bending of light rays as they pass through different materials?
REFRACTION
Why are x rays powerful?
X-rays are a radiation which is above communications radio waves and below gamma rays. It is a highly energetic radio wave which is why it is able to pass through some materials. It is not energetic enough to pass through highly dense materials such as lead.
Why light rays does not bend towards thicker part while passing through prsm?
It is very difficult to answer this question since it is based on a total misunderstanding of what actually happens. Light rays, when passing through a triangular prism DO bend towards the thicker part of the prism!
What is the term that describes a ray of sunlight passing through a gap in cloud?
"crepuscular rays" is the technical term...
What is the meaning of opaque materials?
Opaque means not allowing light rays to pass through.
