Where is most ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
It absorbed by the exosphere
Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?
alpha radiation :)
Can beta radiation be stopped by a piece of paper?
Alpha radiation is absorbed by a sheet of paper; beta radiation is absorbed by a person; gamma radiation is absorbed by a stell wall. However, small amounts of gamma radiation can still be absorbed by a person.
What is the definition of passive solar heating?
Glass windows provide passive solar heating for buildings. Sunlight passes through the glass and is absorbed by surfaces in the building. It is transferred into heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation. This is reflected back into the building by the glass.
Which type of radiation is most easily absorbed by shielding?
alpha radiation
Why is radiation absorbed?
Radiation is absorbed maily because of resonance.
What percent of radiation is absorbed?
The radiation that are absorbed are not all useful. Only the harmful ones are.
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
What is more reflective toward radiation mirror or aluminum foil?
I would have to say aluminum foil, since radiation can travel through glass. radiation is reflected from the surface of aluminum foil. With a mirror the radiation has to travel through a small layer of glass twice before the mirror is finished with it. Glass is not totally transparent, some light is absorbed so the naked aluminum reflects better.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)

Are all the radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere?
False
