Does infrared radiation penetrate through plastic?

Yes, infrared radiation can penetrate through certain types of plastic materials, depending on their composition and thickness. Thinner, transparent plastics are more likely to allow infrared radiation to pass through, while thicker or opaque plastics may absorb or reflect infrared radiation.


Can infrared penetrate objects?

Yes, infrared radiation can penetrate certain objects depending on their material composition. For example, infrared radiation can pass through materials like plastic, glass, and water, while being absorbed or reflected by opaque materials like metals. The ability of infrared radiation to penetrate objects is often influenced by the wavelength of the radiation and the properties of the material it encounters.


Will gamma radiation pass through plastic wrappers?

Yes, Gamma rays can pass through a metal sheet.Gamma rays are the most penetrating of the radiations.Gamma rays are highly energetic waves.It cannot be said that a particular thickness of a material can absorb all gamma radiation.Many centimeters of lead or many meters of concrete are required to absorb high levels of gamma rays.


Does plastic reduce radiation?

Plastic itself does not reduce radiation. However, certain types of plastic materials can act as a barrier to some forms of radiation. For example, thick plastic shields can help block alpha and beta radiation but are not effective against gamma radiation. Specialized materials like lead and concrete are more commonly used for radiation shielding.


What absorbs alpha radiation?

Pretty much anything will. A couple of sheets of paper would do it. Alpha radiation is big and bulky compared to other types of radiation. So it can't penetrate objects very far.

they are better for enviroment because they last longer than plastic and are not thrown away as aften as plastic bottles


How can I safely melt plastic bottles at home?

It is not safe to melt plastic bottles at home due to the release of toxic fumes. It is recommended to recycle plastic bottles instead.


What are two possible uses of recycled plastic bottles?

Most recycled plastic bottles are recycled into... plastic bottles, especially PET plastic, the one with the Number 1 in the triangle. Other kinds of plastic bottles can be again made into similar plastic bottles, or they can be "downcycled", that is, combined with other plastics to make things like garbage bins and garden furniture.


Why are drink bottles made from plastic?

Well, plastic is made from used plastic bottles so I guess that they want to recycle.


Why clouded plastic for milk bottles?

Is SODIS just as effective with glass bottles as it is with clear plastic PET bottles?

Generally speaking, glass bottles will work for the SODIS process although they are much thicker walls and generally do not allow as much UV radiation through as thin walled clear plastic PET bottles which are the container of choice. The main disadvantages of glass bottles are the weight and the fact that they can break if dropped. They are also not as plentiful in the rural areas of developing countries where this process is being targeted at the household level. Another disadvantage is the lack of screw top lids found on plastic bottles. They are more difficult to cap and prevent leakage during the process.
