For IR, visible, and UV radiation; any shiny surface will do. For acoustic radiation, any massive smooth surface will do. For em radiation, any material with a very different dielectric constant from that of air will do. For ionizing radiation, there is a lot of money to be made from this discovery. That problem is yet (mainly) to be solved.
Such reflection is called the albedo. For the earth it is 30 - 35%
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.
Yes sunlight is composed of ultraviolet rays which are electromagnetic radiation
Doesn't it make you wonder why these radiation questions have not been answered??
Radiation from a CT scan typically does not remain in your body; it is absorbed and quickly dissipated. The radiation exposure from a CT scan is instantaneous, and the effects are not cumulative. However, the dose of radiation can vary depending on the type of scan and the area being imaged. Overall, the amount of radiation used in a CT scan is considered safe and is monitored to minimize risks.
The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.
Ozone absorbs UV radiation.
It doesn't absorb clever. It penetrates, and it can penetrate paper, smoke, a layer of skin and thin aluminium.
Mirrors reflect whether there is anything to reflect at the minute. Beside light they can also reflect heat radiation.
Thick puffy cloud reflects suns radiation thick clouds reflect radiation keeping earth cool. Thin wispy cloud reflects sun radiation thin don't reflect as much radiation allowing the earth to warm.
Reflection
The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation.
Radiation can bounce off surfaces such as metal, mirrors, and other reflective materials. The ability of a material to reflect radiation depends on its composition and surface finish. Smooth and polished surfaces tend to reflect radiation more effectively than rough or absorbent surfaces.
Yes, clouds can reflect incoming solar radiation due to their high albedo, which is the measure of how much sunlight is reflected off a surface. This reflection can have a cooling effect on the Earth's surface by reducing the amount of solar radiation that reaches it.
Cloud cover prevents IR radiation and light from escaping to space, preventing cooling by radiation.
Color affects radiation and absorption through reflection and absorption of different wavelengths of light. Darker colors tend to absorb more radiation and heat up more quickly, while lighter colors reflect more radiation and stay cooler. This can impact a material's ability to absorb or reflect solar radiation, affecting its temperature and energy efficiency.
Aluminium reflect infrared radiation.
