Which type of radiation is most penetrating in solid substances?
Gamma radiation
How do you heat a solid?
either by radiation, conduction, or convection.
When a solid is heated it emits electromagnetic radiation known as An example of such radiation is the element of a stove stop burning bright red?
blackbody radiation
Is infrared radiation only emitted from the center of hot solid objects?
No. While most infrared radiation is from the center of hot solid objects, some of it is not. The sun is plasma (not solid) and it emits infrared radiation. Also, infrared radiation can be emitted by the friction in between objects
What physics are in radiology?
Radiation physics and solid state physics.
Can radiation travel through solids?
Sure. But the thicker and more dense the solid is, the more radiation is blocked. A nice, heavy blocker of nuclear radiation is lead.
What state of matter does radiation occur in?
in solid liquid and gasses
Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Usually.
How does the sun increase the temperature of solid and liquid?
The Sun is a source of energy, electromagnetic radiation. When this radiation impinges on a solid or liquid, it causes the atoms of that substance to vibrate more rapidly. The increasing vibration is "heat", their temperature increases.
What would it take to shield myself from gamma radiation?
It would take several inches of solid lead to prevent gamma radiation from reaching you.
Can s waves travel through solid?
In radioactive solids, yes. Any solid material with a half life will emit radiation. Any solid material with unstable isotopes within it will also emit radiation. Heat is infrared radiation, and any solid will radiate heat when the temperature outside it is lower.
What is lighting Solid Liquid Gas?
None of these, light is electromagnetic radiation different response: its really a plasma
