Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through some material or through space.

Since there is Vacuum( empty space) between earth and the sun, Light travels using radiation....

Hope it helped! :)

Is there radiation in space storms?

Well actually there is radiation. Because space is so cold that when the storm forms they both make radiation. Just like hot air and cold air making a tornado.


Do radiation detectors pick up all of the radiation in the air?

Not necessarily. Different kinds of radiation detectors pick up different kinds of radiation. Also some radiation is of so little importance, that detectors are not designed to pick it up. An example here is UV light, which is actually low level ionizing radiation. One more thing: Radiation doesn't require air to travel. A quick example: The sun's radiation reaches earth, yet there is no air in space for it to travel through.


What does Light Amplification by Stimulating Electro-magnetic Radiation stand for?

Laser is actually an acronym. The full form given in the question is very close to the actual full form of laser, which is: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.


Does radiation kill the immune cells or help them function better?

Radiation can have both suppressive and stimulatory effects on the immune system. In high doses, radiation can damage or kill immune cells, leading to immune suppression. However, at lower doses, radiation can actually stimulate the immune response by promoting the release of immune-stimulating molecules and activating immune cells. The overall impact on immune function depends on the dose, duration, and tissues/organs exposed to radiation.


What type of radiation releases two protons and two neutrons from the parent nucleus?

That's a description of an alpha particle. That "bundle" of two protons and two neutrons is actually a helium-4 nucleus. Use the link below to learn more.

There are actually three, conduction, convection and radiation.


Do mobile phones cause more radiation while charged?

No - the only time they emit radiation is when they're actually in use making or receiving a call.


What is the energy received by the earth from the sun in the form of radiation?

It may be called by different names, for example:* Solar energy * Solar radiation * Electromagnetic waves * Light (actually this is only part of the radiation we receive)

Do cell phones make you smart?

No,they actually emit harmful radiation if you keep it on you at all times.


Are black surfaces are good reflectors of infra red radiation?

No, black surfaces are actually poor reflectors of infrared radiation. They absorb more infrared radiation compared to other colors, which is why black objects often feel warmer in sunlight. White surfaces are better reflectors of infrared radiation.


Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?

Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.
