Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?
alpha radiation :)
Where is most ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
It absorbed by the exosphere
What are the three most important ways of reducing the radiation exposure from fallout from a nuclear weapon?
Time, Distance, and Shielding
Which radioactive emission is described most easily absorbed?
alpha
What happened to Most debris from a nuclear weapons test?
Absorbed into atmosphere or into ground as radiation.
Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?
alpha radiation :)
Where is most ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
It absorbed by the exosphere
Which radioactive most easily absorbed?
The most easily absorbed radioactive is Alpha
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
What are the other materials can be used as shielding in radiation?
Lead is the most commonly used metal as shielding in radiation. Lead is economical and has got very high atomic number. This very high atomic number makes it suitable as a shielding agent in radiation, probably. You can use other metals like steel also. Probably with less efficacy.
What are the three most important ways of reducing the radiation exposure from fallout from a nuclear weapon?
Time, Distance, and Shielding
What metals reflect radiation from a nuclear bomb?
Other than the light, heat, and UV radiation (which can be reflected by most metals) from a nuclear bomb, nothing can reflect the radiation.The various forms of nuclear radiation are absorbed not reflected:alpha radiation is completely absorbed by one ordinary sheet of paper, no metal is neededbeta radiation can be absorbed by most metals very efficientlygamma radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead and uraniumneutron radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead
How much of the ultraviolet radition from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
Most of it is absorbed. UV is the harmful radiation of the sun.
Most of the solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface is later radiated back into space as which type of electromagnetic radiation?
Thermal IR radiation.
Is x-rays radiation most easily stopped by air?
no x-ray or gamma ray radiation can be stopped or diluted by air. if that was the truth, a greater portion of the radiation would be stopped (absorbed, destroyed ) by atmospheric air in Chernobil's incidence. Radiation from Ukraine reached to Greece, Sweden and to many other places!
What does the earth do with the radiation that reaches us?
Part of the radiation is immediately radiated back into space. The remainder is absorbed; most of what is absorbed will be radiated back into space soon (as the materials heat up, they radiate out more infrared radiation).
What is most of earths ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
The atmosphere and especially the ozone layer
