What is radiation used for?
radiation is used for many things such as medicines, sterilizing foods, generalisationin electricity and heat, many industrial uses and many many more=====(such as seeing things, using the radio, watching TV, operating GPS, using acellphone, taking an X-ray of your teeth, getting a CT or MRI when you're hurt,toasting bread, getting a nice tan, taking a photo, looking at the moon, etc.)I'm going to assume that you mean ionizing radiation. Off the top of my head, major non-research uses include:- Diagnostics (e.g. medical imaging, materials inspection, etc.)- Sterilization (e.g. irradiated foods, irradiated seeds, etc.)- Sensors (e.g. smoke detectors, thickness gauges, etc.)electromagnetic radiation allows me to listen to the radio; heat radiation makes me warm at the beach; sound radiation carries your speech to me; ionizing radiation allows the sterilization of hospital supplies.
How Does aluminum foil prevent energy loss by radiation?
Aluminum foil is a conductor of heat energy. However, it does reflect radiation from heat sources, so it can reduce heat transfer through radiation. When aluminum foil is wrapped around something, pockets of air can be trapped. Trapped air is an excellent insulator against conduction and convection. However, if you want to prevent something like a can of soda from getting warm in your lunchbox, a wool sock will be a better insulator. Even paper toweling is better at insulating than aluminum foil when light is not shining.

Actually canning foods is a way to kill off bacteria so that they will last a long time. But some foods are made by using bacteria and then those foods are sterilized while being canned.

How has preprepared foods changed?
In general there are a wider variety of preprepared food today. It stays fresh for longer and often taste better. Then we can ask ourselves why. Mainly this is due to better hygene and better knowledge of bactereas that causes food to go off quickly. We are better at treating food with high temperature to kill off any possible bactereas present. Chemicals are also added to fooditems to preserve them. These days some countries also allow use of radiation to sterilize certain fooditems. The radiation may alter the taste of some fooditems, although this depends on the level of radiation the items get. It is a myth that food will become radioactive by radiation. It is widely accepted to radiate spices, although they don't brag about it. Regards.
