How much radiation does a strike of lightning give off?
A single strike of lightning can give off varying amounts of radiation, typically in the form of gamma rays. The amount of radiation emitted can be influenced by factors such as the energy and distance of the strike. Lightning is not a significant source of radiation exposure compared to other natural sources like the sun or radon gas.
What do elements give off when they are heated?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Why do some substances give out radiation?
Some substances give off radiation because they are unstable and try to reach a more stable state by releasing energy in the form of radiation. This radiation could be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Does radon gas give off alpha radiation?
Yes it does. By the time a radon nucleus has decayed to a stable lead nucleus 6 alpha particles have been emitted. These are dangerous to health. For this reason, basements which are in high radon areas should be positively vented to the outside. Note. care should be taken with decorative granite counter-tops. Some of these cause radon levels in the kitchen which are far above the safe limit.
Which two of the following planets do NOT give off more radiation than they receive from the Sun?
The following means that you have to give choices.

What ray do all objects give off?
A 'ray' is a term for a radiation. All objects with temperatures above 0 degrees Kelvin give off radiation called, "Heat".
Does iPhone4 give off radiation?
All cell phones give off varying degrees of radiation.
Does kryptonite give off gas or radiation?
Radiation
What kind of radiation does hot things give out?
Hot things give off infrared radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This type of radiation is invisible to the human eye but can be felt as heat on the skin.
What type of energy does a microwave oven give off?
A microwave oven gives off electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves. These microwaves are used to heat and cook food quickly and efficiently.
What do all objects give off?
All objects give off thermal radiation.
Does fire give off radiation?
Yes, fire gives off radiation in the form of heat and light.
Does any kind of Granite affect lung disease?
Almost all granites give off Radon and Thoron gas, both radioactive when they decay down the radiation chain. The dust has silica as well as the radioisotopes present, both can cause lung disease. Have any granite tested for Radon AND Thoron before purchase. Check the radiation levels till you find a low level slab, then have it tested for Radon. Do not trust lab reports unless they were done on YOUR slab. For more info go to solidsurfacealliance.org or forum.solidsurfacealliance.org
Do electrical ovens give off radiation?
Yes - infrared radiation. If you're asking about nuclear radiation, then no.
Does the earth give off radiation?
Yes, the Earth does give off radiation in the form of heat. This radiation is primarily in the form of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface in response to solar energy absorbed during the day.
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves when they are turned on. This radiation is absorbed by food and causes water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat that cooks the food.
