What does the earth's atmosphere do to most types of electromagnetic radiation?
It absorbs almost everything except the visible spectrum.
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
Would the thermometer wrapped with a black cloth have a higher reading than one not wrapped?
Color is determined by the amount of radiation an object absorbs/reflects. Black absorbs all colors of light, meaning it absorbs the most radiation, increasing heat.
Which gas absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present in the ozone layer of atmosphere.
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.
What is the purpose of the lead apron and how does it work?
Technicians (and patients) who are exposed to ionizing radiation (most commonly, x-rays) wear lead aprons to protect their vital organs from radiation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation has been shown to cause cancer. Lead absorbs x-rays, alpha particles and beta particles. It is much less effective at absorbing gamma rays, but it's far better than no protection at all.
What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
If your question was 'What is the oxygen compound that absorbs UV radiation?' - then ozone
What does the atmosphere do to some of the radiation?
It absorbs some of the radiation. The radiation is UV rays.
What absorbs Earth's radiation?
It depends on the type of radiation.
What does the earth's atmosphere do to most types of electromagnetic radiation?
It absorbs almost everything except the visible spectrum.
What gas absorbes a large portion of ultravionlet radiation in the stratosphere?
Ozone gas absorbs it. It absorbs the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
What are nuclear reactors made from?
Reactors are typically made from concrete,steel and lined with lead, the combination of these materials and built into a strong shape(bullet shaped or spherical shaped etc..) make up a nuclear reactor, these materials also absorb the radiation produced inside the nuclear reactor(lead absorbs gamma radiation and concrete absorbs neutron radiation).
What allotrope of oxygen absorbs UV rays?
There are two: # oxygen, O2, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, # ozone, O3, absorbs UV-B and more energetic radiation.
Does UVA radiation get absorbed by ozone?
It does not. It only absorbs UV-B radiation.
Does the ozone absorb ultra violet radiation?
Yes, it does. It absorbs the UV radiation.
What type of substance is heated by radiation?
Any substance that absorbs the radiation is heated by it.
