Sure. But the thicker and more dense the solid is, the more radiation is blocked. A nice, heavy blocker of nuclear radiation is lead.

Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?

Radiation can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The extent to which radiation penetrates these materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation, the energy level, and the density of the material.


Does radiation need a material to travel through?

No, radiation can travel through a vacuum as well as through materials such as air, water, and solids. The ability of radiation to travel through materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation and the material's density and thickness.


Which of these can radiation travel through?

Radiation can travel through air, water, and some solids like glass and metals. However, the ability of radiation to pass through different materials depends on the type of radiation (such as alpha, beta, or gamma) and the thickness and density of the material.


How does electromagnetic (em) radiation travels through each state of matter?

Electromagnetic radiation can travel through air, solids, liquids, and gases. In solids and liquids, it generally moves through the atoms and molecules via vibration and interactions with the charged particles. In air and gases, it propagates through the space between molecules. The speed of electromagnetic radiation can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through, with the speed being fastest in a vacuum.


What state of matter does radiation happen you n?

Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.

Does radiation happen in solids liquids or gases?

Radiation can occur in all three states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases. It is a form of energy transfer that does not require a medium. Radiation can travel through solids, liquids, and gases as electromagnetic waves or particles.

What can s waves not travel through?

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D


Can a p wave travel through gas?

Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.

What is a type of radiation that cannot pass through solids?

Alpha radiation is a type of radiation that cannot pass through solids. This type of radiation consists of alpha particles, which are positively charged and relatively heavy, making them easier to block by solid materials.


Can radiation travel through a vacuum?

Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.
