What can one do to protect oneself from background radiation?
Background radiation come from black body radiation which is mostly infrared and microwave. Background radiation is not harmful at all. Fear from background radiation come from confusion of the word radiation where we mostly concern nuclear radiation, but light is also a form of radiation and we live within the bright day light on a normal basis.
The heat left over from the beginning of the universe is?
cosmic microwave background radiation.
What dangers does background radiation pose to humans?
None, background radiation is the natural radiation present all around us and has been for thousands of years.
What radiation did Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson find in space?
Cosmic background uniform microwave radiation left over from the big bang.
Does radiation travel any direction?
Yes. Radiation travels in all directions, however, it can be collimated, so as to be coerced into traveling in one direction, but that is not a process of the emitting nuclide.
What month did Arno Penzias's discover background radiation?
Penzias and Wilson discovered background radiation on October 7,1965.
Who discovered the evidence of cosmic background radiation?
The cosmic background radiation was discovered in 1964 by American radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson
From which direction do you receive background radiation from the big bang?
From every direction that isn't blocked by the earth. The amplitude of the background radiation is almost exactly constant from all directions.
What is cosmetic microwave background radiation?
this is radiation in the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum which comes from all directions in outer space
Background radiation comes from all directions in space?
Truer words were never spoken.
What is meant by the term background radiation?
Backround radiation is an explosion which occured in space, which consists of radiation comming from all directions in space.
What discovery destroyed the steady state theory?
For most cosmologists, the refutation of the steady-state theory came with the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965, which was predicted by the Big Bang theory
What did Penzias and Wilson discover?
They discovered cosmic microwave background radiation is a major development in modern physical cosmology
How was Cosmic Microwave background radiation first discovered?
It as predicted from theory and discovered by accident by two telephone engineers that, when they saw it, thought it was some sort of interference noise in their instrument, (possibly caused by pigeons). When they were unable to eliminate the noise, they spoke about it to an academic friend who realised that what they were detecting may be the predicted microwave background radiation.
Who were the two scientists that discovered CBR and how did they discover it?
Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson accidentally discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation while experimenting with the Holmdel Horn Antenna
Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?
There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.
What can one do to protect oneself from background radiation?
Background radiation come from black body radiation which is mostly infrared and microwave. Background radiation is not harmful at all. Fear from background radiation come from confusion of the word radiation where we mostly concern nuclear radiation, but light is also a form of radiation and we live within the bright day light on a normal basis.
