Why do radiation detectors register counts even though no apparent source of radioactivity is in the area?
Radiation detectors register counts even though no apparent source of radioactivity is in the area due to the background radiaoactivity and radiation that is always present. There are high energy cosmic rays (gamma) from the Sun, low level alpha, beta, and gamma from fallout from various nuclear detonations and accidents over the years, decay processes from naturally occurring Uranium, radiation coming from our own bodies, in the form of Strontium, Cesium, Potassium, and others, and contamination processes that occur in power and processing plants.
When building and calibrating sensitive detectors, we always measure the background radiation and subtract that from the measured results.

Will a bat set off a motion detector?
Yes, a bat can potentially set off a motion detector, depending on the type of detector and its sensitivity. Most motion detectors are designed to detect movement based on heat or infrared signals, so if a bat flies within the detection range, it may trigger the alarm. However, smaller or less sensitive detectors might not register a bat's movement.
What coatings can be detected by a metal detector?
Metal detectors primarily detect conductive materials, so coatings that contain metals, such as gold, silver, copper, or aluminum, can be detected. This includes metallic paints, conductive coatings, and certain types of metalized films. Non-metallic coatings, like standard paint or plastic, typically do not register on metal detectors. Additionally, some composite materials may have detectable metal components that could trigger a response.

Would a probe register infrared emissions from a beaker of water at room temperature?
Absolutely yes, if it were sensitive in the 9.7 micron band. According to Wien's law, the peak wavelength for cavity radiation at 298K is about 9.7 micrometers.
Once married in Muslim do you have to register in the UK?
It is not an Islamic requirement to register with UK register. However, if not registering violets the wife's rights: example, upon death of husband the wife will not receive inheritance then it is required to register with UK register. In general it is better to register marriage with UK register.
