Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Usually.
Does light in air travel faster than radiation from microwave oven?
No, they travel at the same speed.
What is Cherenkov radiation?
Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated when subatomic particles pass through matter at a speed faster than the speed of light through that type of matter. It is somewhat analogous to the sonic boom generated when objects pass through air faster than the speed of sound; except Cherenkov radiation is an electromagnetic phenomenon and a sonic boom is a sound phenomenon. Cherenkov radiation is usually seen as blue light. It is most commonly seen in the water surrounding nuclear reactor cores (see photo above), but can also occur in any transparent material (e.g. air, plastic, glass) when it is exposed to enough high speed subatomic particle radiation.
Does Heat have shorter wavelengths than visible light?
No. Heat is infrared radiation ("infra" means "lower"). Lower frequency means longer wavelength. All radiation is captured by antennas that resonate at the frequency of the radiation. The "antennas" for visible light are electrons that use the radiation to jump into excited states and cause optical neurons to fire. The "antennas" of heat (infrared) are bigger -- they are molecules that jiggle faster when the radiation hits them. That jiggling is heat.
Are X-rays similar to beta rays?
Though both are forms of ionizing radiation, an X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation, while a beta ray is actually a beta particle. The beta particle is a form of particulate radiation, and the beta particle could be either an electron or a positron.
Why is it faster to observe genetic effects of radiation on mosses than on plants from other group?
Because mosses have haploid cells which have only one set of genome. Therefore the effect of radiation can be observed faster in them.

Which will observe faster?
radiation
In a vacuum the speed of ultraviolet radiation is faster than the speed of light?
no
What are Effects of ATM?
to get money faster and easier
Why can the effects of evolution be seen faster in bacteria than in humans?
Bacteria reproduce quite rapidly - in many case it takes only a matter of minutes. Changes to the genetic material would therefore be seen much faster than with humans whose life cycle is quite long.
Why does convection melt things faster than radiation?
The heat circulates quickly.
Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Usually.
what is the modes of heat transfere?
radiation radiation travels at the speed of light, which is very quick diffusion is slow. convention is faster than diffusion.
Is speed of radiation emitted by the earth faster than the sun's?
both are the same = c
What Under the same conditions of solar radiation compared with oceans the land will warm?
Faster.
Is a speed of light faster than liquid?
The speed of electromagnetic radiation of all kinds, including light, is faster than the speed of anything else.
