Extreme ultraviolet and X-rays are mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the surface. This absorption helps protect living organisms from the harmful effects of these high-energy radiations.

Should electromagnetic radiation be avoided at all cost?

No mainly because it is impossible. The electromagnetic spectrum is everywhere visible light is a small part of it as are radio waves. It isn't a bad idea to avoid some of it X rays, ultraviolet light, microwaves etc. are potentially harmful hence the issue with cell phones high tension power cables etc.


Is radiation an xray?

No, they can't. X-rays, at least the high energy ones, are a form of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds, but it cannot activate a substance. That is, X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive. Only particulate radiation can "induce" radioactivity, and that will happen according to the type of particulate radiation and the material being bombarded. Cosmic rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation even more energetic than X-rays, and even they cannot make a substance radioactive. Because X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive, they cannot make a site, a room, or an area of any kind radioactive.


What is the farthest point north of the earths surface?

The North Pole at 90° North. You cannot go any further north.


How does electromagnetic radiation from distant galaxies support the big bang theory?

Given by the fact that electromegnetic energy cannot be seen and how the radiation from distant galaxies supports the big bang theory? it can easily be said that...I dont know the answer. (0_0)


What is an object in space that has a grvitational pull so strong that light cannot escape?

By invisible i assume you mean that the object does not emit electromagnetic radiation. In which case your answer is dark matter. Or potentially black holes (if you ignore the possibility of Hawking radiation).

How is the curved horizon proof of the Earth shape?

we have a horizon which means that we cannot see all of the earths surface


What can radiation not do that convection and conduction can do?

Since radiation is done by electromagnetic waves, it can travel through space. i.e no matter is required. That way you can heat up objects through space. Or, for example, the earth gets heated by the suns electromagnetic waves.


What is farthest southern point on the earths surface?

The South Pole, you cannot go any further south than that.

How is photography related to physics?

First of all, electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves, so the two terms are almost synonymous. The very definition of "photography" is: the creation of images by capturing radiation on a "radiation-sensitive medium". Almost always the type of "radiation" captured in photography is electromagnetic radiation, and almost always the type of electromagnetic radiation captured in photography is light, therefore almost always the type of "radiation-sensitive medium" used in photography is light-sensitive film used in cameras. In short, photography is the art and/or science of capturing electromagnetic waves for the purpose of making pictures, except for a few rare types of photography. Some exceptions to the standard light-with-film type of photography are: (1) infrared photography, such as used in aerial photography, since infrared electromagnetic radiation cannot be seen, unlike light, and (2) x-ray photography, since x-ray electromagnetic radiation also cannot be seen. It is conceivable that other, extremely rare types of photography such as the capturing of alpha particles or beta particles, which are other types of radiation different than electromagnetic radiation, could also be considered "photography," but those would likely be used only for limited scientific purposes rather than for recreational purposes.


Can microwave travel through vacuum?

A microwave is near the "red" side of the electromagnetic scale. All electromagnetic travels at the same rate. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation which travels through a vacuum (space). Thereofore, being a part of electormagnetic radiation, microwaves will travel through a vacuum.

Are radioactive rays visible?

No, all forms of radiation cannot be classed as "visible" as they are too small to be seen by the human eye. However, Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation can be seen experimentally using various methods.


Is radiation breathed in?

No, radiation travels in straight lines (except for charged particle radiation in electromagnetic fields, which follows arc shaped paths). However you can breath in matter that is emitting radiation.
