What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
radiation
Can radiation travel through a vacuum?
Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.
Does radiation travel through an empty space-?
Radiation travels through empty space and substance.
How is heat transferrred through space?
Through radiation, like infrared radiation, visible light, etc.
What type of radiation can easily pass through a human?
Gamma radiation
Is attenuation correction thickness in a PET scan for length between slides or tumor thickness?
Attenuation correction in PET scans is actually aimed at accounting for the differences in the attenuation of the radiation signatures exhibited by different tissues because of the losses that materials impose on radiation passing through it. There are whole textbooks on this subject, and it is quite involved.
How do non-lead aprons shield from radiation?
The attenuation factor is the main focus in radiation protection. Attenuation is the gradual loss of intensity of a current as it passes through a medium. Lead was found to be effective at attenuating radiation so it became the industry standard. Through research and development, other metals (tin, bismuth, aluminum, barium, and titanium) have been found to attenuate x-rays efficiently while still meeting the lead equivalency.
When a signal degrades as it runs through a wire you have?
Attenuation.
On a 10BASE-T network attenuation is addressed through the use of what?
repeaters
What is attenuation in communication?
loss of signal strength as distance increases The reduction of signal energy during transmission.
Which attenuate the sound pressure level?
Noise and Attenuation. Noise is usually defined as unwanted sound - noise, noise generation, silencers and attenuation in HVAC systems. Attenuation of Sound Waves: When sound travels through a medium, its intensity diminishes with distance. In idealized materials, sound pressure or signal amplitude is only reduced by the spreading of the wave. Natural materials, however, all produce an effect which further weakens the sound. This further weakening results from scattering and absorption. Scattering is the reflection of the sound in directions other than its original direction of propagation. Absorption is the conversion of the sound energy to other forms of energy. The combined effect of scattering and absorption is called attenuation. Ultrasonic attenuation is the decay rate of the wave as it propagates through material. A property of some thing or action which is essential and specific to that thing or action. Attenuation of sound within a material itself is often not of intrinsic interest. However, natural properties and loading conditions can be related to attenuation. Attenuation often serves as a measurement tool that leads to the formation of theories to explain physical or chemical phenomenon that decreases the ultrasonic intensity.
What is the equation for self attenuation in radiochemistry?
The equation for the attenuation of a gamma-ray flux passing through a path of length x in a sample with linear attenuation coefficient u can be expressed as I = I0 e ^-u*x. For most environments, the value of u is not known and must be estimated by measurements.
How does heat from the sun reach earth?
through radiation
What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
radiation
How is heat transferred through space?
heat is transfered through space by radiation.
Can radiation be transferred to your clothes through radiation therapy?
Radiation Therapy is not transferred to clothing.
What is Transmissibility of radiation?
Is how much radiation goes through a material.
