Yes, beta particles can penetrate several layers of skin and cause damage to living tissue. However, they can also be shielded by the body's surface, especially if the exposure is brief and the particles do not have enough energy to penetrate deeply. It is important to minimize exposure to beta radiation through proper safety measures.
A stronger force is needed to penetrate a strong surface because the surface's particles are tightly bonded together, making it harder to break through. The force has to overcome the intermolecular forces of the material to create a disruption in its structure.
1. Alpha Particles are the least penetrating, but do a great deal of radiation damage on the surface of what they hit.2. Beta Particles penetrate to a certain extent depending on their energy.3. Gamma Rays penetrate the most, and a Gamma source requires heavy (lead, etc.) shielding.
Red light does not penetrate 70 meters beneath the ocean surface as it is quickly absorbed by water molecules.
Red light does not penetrate to depths where red algae can carry out photosynthesis. This is why red algae have evolved to absorb blue and green light for photosynthesis at these depths.
The speed of particles that escape from the surface of a drop depends on the kinetic energy of the particles which is influenced by factors such as temperature and intermolecular forces. Higher temperatures and weaker intermolecular forces can increase the speed of particles escaping from the drop's surface.

Charged particles from the Sun will not reach the surface of the Earth because they are mostly deflected around it by the Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere), but where the particles are deflected towards the surface near the Earth's magnetic poles, they interact with the gas high in the atmosphere to form the Auroras and do not penetrate through to the surface.

Surface runoff that cannot penetrate the ground forms streams, rivers, or lakes.
No. Alpha particles, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons - effectively a Helium nucleus - are very heavy (for a decay particle) and readily ionize surface materials. For this reason, they have very low penetration.Alpha particles are not the most penetrating, instead it is the Gamma rays that penetrate better.

Detergent decreases the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread and penetrate more easily. It also helps to break down oils and grease by surrounding the particles and allowing them to be washed away with water.

Soap and detergent are able to clean leather because they contain surfactants that can break down and remove dirt, oil, and other debris from the leather's surface. These surfactants lower the surface tension of the water, allowing it to penetrate the leather and carry away the dirt particles.
