Which type ionizing radiation can be blocked by clothing?
Alpha particle radiation can be stopped by just a few centimetres of air. Therefore, clothing will certainly block penetration. Potentially, low energy Beta radiation could also be blocked by thick clothing.
Which type of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Alpha or beta radiation
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.
Which type of radiation may be stopped by protective clothing and mask?
Alpha radiation particles can only harm you if ingested into the body by way of inhalation or body fluid contact. Full body clothing and particle masks can protect you, and it can be washed off the skin if it gets on you (the primary purpose for decontamination showers).
Why does opaque clothing reduce the transfer of heat by radiation?
it reduces the amount lost through holes in the clothing.
Which type ionizing radiation can be blocked by clothing?

What are substances that block radiation?
You mean a physical substance which could be lead or concrete. Some ultraviolet radiation can be blocked by sunblocks and clothing. Other types of radiation such as X-Rays used in medicine can be blocked by lead.
Which type of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Alpha or beta radiation
Astronauts on spacewalks outside the orbiting Space Station have to wear protective clothing against which type of radiation?
you are thinking of Solar radiation. or radiation from the sun in simple terms.
What type of radiation may be stopped by protective clothing and a mask and can damage skin and produce a burn similar to a thermal burn?
Beta Radiation
What type of nuclear radiation can be blocked by a block of lead Beta particles or alpha particles?
Both Beta and alpha particles can be blocked by a block of lead. Alpha particles can even be blocked by a sheet of paper, and beta particles can be blocked by a thin aluminium plate.
What radiation can be blocked by metal foil?
Beta Reaction(:
Can radiation be transferred to your clothes through radiation therapy?
Radiation Therapy is not transferred to clothing.
Why is the clothing necessary?
it is because of radiation.
What element is used to block out dangerous radiation?
Alpha Radiation ( α ) – Least penetration. Will be blocked by a single sheet of paper. Beta Radiation ( β ) – More penetration than alpha. Blocked by a few mms aluminium. Gamma Radiation ( µ ) – Strong penetration. Needs a least a few inches of lead to block.
Why is the special clothing necessary?
it is because of radiation.
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.
