The short answer is that the photons are not energetic enough. Photons of x-rays and gamma rays are energetic enough to pass through metal.
No uv rays do not go through metal -Cybil
yes, but it drastically reduces them
Uv rays, carbon dioxide, and water
Yes, UV rays reach Antarctica despite its polar location. In fact, Antarctica experiences some of the highest levels of UV radiation due to the ozone hole over the region. This can be harmful to humans and wildlife in the area.
yes. it doesn't matter how thick or thin your skin is. The melatonin in your skin gets activated from the UV rays of the sun.
Purely from observation of devices utilising UV rays i'd go with yes, as there are personal solar chargers that include mirrored reflectors to increase charge efficiencies.
Depends on the "object" and the frequency of the "light." All light waves can go through SOME objects, and some are stopped by an object that others can go right through. Radio waves can easily go through walls, optical light waves can go through glass, UV light can be easily stopped by many objects but can go through some others, and x-rays and gamma rays go through a wide variety of objects.
Yes, some ultraviolet (UV) light can pass through glass windows. However, the amount of UV light that is able to pass through depends on the type of glass and its composition. Low-E glass is specially designed to block a significant amount of UV rays, while traditional window glass may allow more UV light to pass through.
yes they are uv and cause the most savage kind of skin cancer Malignant Melanoma
UV rays are danerous because they can burn your skin. But they also kill bacteria and UV is also used to detect forgery.If you want more info about it you can go to the link below. Its a song about different type of light. Its VERY funny!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjOGNVH3D4Y
Infrared rays can pass through many materials like glass, plastic, and water, but they may be absorbed or reflected by opaque objects like metals. The ability of infrared rays to penetrate materials depends on the specific properties of the material and the wavelength of the infrared radiation.
because they are a form of energy which cannot withstand the the uv rays of sun
