What state of matter does radiation happen you n?
Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.
What is a material that light cannot travel through?
light can travel through anything. Light here means electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. Visible light cannot go through anything opaque, such as metal sheets. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, can pass through almost anything. If you want the name ofa material where no EM radiation can pass through, it's thick lead sheet.
How do solids pass through liquids?
By displacing the liquid.
What type of radiation can easily pass through a human?
Gamma radiation
Why cannot gamma rays pass through lead?
Gamma rays can pass through lead, but the majority of the radiation is "attenuated", or stopped. Only the highest-energy particles which are not stopped by lead will transmit through it. A variety of materials can block, or attenuate, radiation, and the effectiveness of that material to attenuate radiation is in direct relation to the material's density. Other materials such as brass, tungsten, and Cerrobend (TM) can attenuate radiation.
By which process do light rays pass through window glass?
No, conduction is when molecules (usually in solids) collide and pass on heat energy.

Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
Why is alpha radiation more dangerous than beta rediation when the source of the radiation is inside the body?
Alpha radiation cannot get pass through our body as it cannot penetrate through things. Beta can penetrate through things better than alpha. So if alpha is inside our body then it cannot get outside our body and therefore it becomes dangerous.
Why can't secondary waves travel through liquids or gases?
S waves can only pass through solids. They cannot pass through liquids (e.g. water, molten rock).

What does light not pass through?
non-clear solids
How do solids pass through liquids?
By displacing the liquid.
What type of radiation can easily pass through a human?
Gamma radiation
Can p waves travel through the mantle?
Yes. Compressional waves (P-waves) can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They can propagate through every layer of earth's interior. In contrast, shear waves (S-waves) can pass through solids but not liquids or gases. As they propagate toward the center of the earth they pass through the crust, refract through the crust-mantle interface, pass through the mantle, but cannot pass through the mantel-outer core interface because the outer core is liquid.
