The type of nuclear radiation that can penetrate farthest through matter?
Neutrinos- they go through everything and only weakly interact with anything. Its takes thousand of litres of very pure water to even detect them.
Explain ionization which forms of nuclear radiation are capable of ionizing matter?
electromagnetic
What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
radiation
How does heat move when there is no matter to transfer it?
Through radiation. Such as we receive heat from the sun through radiation when it's vacuum in space.
What is required for conduction and convection but not radiation?
It is required in both that the pieces of matter are touching so that the heat travels through the matter and not empty space (Radiation)

What is formed when radiation passes through matter?
heat and friction.

What is Cherenkov radiation?
Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated when subatomic particles pass through matter at a speed faster than the speed of light through that type of matter. It is somewhat analogous to the sonic boom generated when objects pass through air faster than the speed of sound; except Cherenkov radiation is an electromagnetic phenomenon and a sonic boom is a sound phenomenon. Cherenkov radiation is usually seen as blue light. It is most commonly seen in the water surrounding nuclear reactor cores (see photo above), but can also occur in any transparent material (e.g. air, plastic, glass) when it is exposed to enough high speed subatomic particle radiation.
Why is radiation the type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter?
Radiation can go right through empty space.
Which method of transferring thermal energy requires no matter to pass through?
Radiation
