What else can I help you with?
Are gamma rays blocked by the atmosphere?
Yes, a majority of gamma rays are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful effects of gamma rays by absorbing and scattering them. Only a small fraction of gamma rays from space can penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.
Could gamma rays be blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
Yes. Our atmosphere blocks cosmic and solar gamma rays.
Which types of the sun's radiation is not blocked by the earth's atmosphere?
Infra red and visible light.
Can heat energy travel through space a vacuum by convection?
Actually heat cannot travel through vacuum. sun emits radiations (obviously electromagnetic radiations.) which needs no medium to travel. hence these radiations travel through space and reaches earth where it interacts with atmosphere. when these radiations fall on media like air, water land etc. the radiation is converted into heat energy. Thus it is clear that heat from sun is converted into radiations which travel through space and reaches earth where it is converted to light.
The Earth's atmosphere filters out certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yes, Earth's atmosphere filters out certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as most ultraviolet radiation and some infrared radiation, before they reach the surface. This filtering is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation.
What type of Rays blocked by sunglasses?
Ultraviolet rays are blocked. It helps prevent radiations enter our eyes.
What waves are mostly blocked from the earth by the ozone layer?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation waves are mostly blocked from reaching the Earth's surface by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. UV radiation can cause sunburn, skin cancer, and other harmful effects on living organisms.
What forms of electromagnetic radiations travel in waves with the lowest energy?
Radio.
Whiat layer of the earths atmosphere protects us from harmful radiations?
Ozone layer protects us from harmful radiations. UV radiations are these rays.

Can microwave rays get through the earths atmosphere?
Microwave rays can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as they are a form of electromagnetic radiation that is not absorbed or blocked by gases in the atmosphere. This is why microwave communication systems like satellites are able to transmit signals through the atmosphere.
Why use satellites and earth orbiting observatories to study the universe at x ray or gamma ray wave lengths?
Those radiations hardly reach Earth's surface, because they are absorbed by the atmosphere.
How electromagnetic radiation is formed?
electromagnetic radiations are formed due to the disturbances in electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to each other.
How electromagnet spectrum was found?
Electromagnetic spectrum is formed due to the difference of wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiations as they are orderly distributed.
The ozone layer is important as it blocks what part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
It blocks the UV part of the electromagnetic radiation. These are harmful radiations.
How electromagnetic radiations vary?
because they provide different strnght in different region
Can micro waves travel trough a vacuum?
Yes they can. They are a form of electromagnetic rays and all types of electromagnetic radiations can travel in vacuum
