I was watching a movie and i saw a guy protecting himself and his family by going to his basement and blocking off all windows and hiding(not sure if its true)

also when you go to the dentist and get an x-ray of your teeth you are covered with the heavy blanket of sort to protect vital organs and that's why the dentist gets behind a wall of some sort because this is i believe is a small type of radiation

...so maybe you can shield behind something

Can Heat can be transferred by only by radiation?

No, heat can be transferred by three methods: conduction (transfer through direct contact), convection (transfer through fluids like air or water), and radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves). Radiation is just one of the ways heat can be transferred.


What country is using radiation?

Various countries use radiation in different ways, including for medical diagnosis and treatment, industrial applications, and research. The extent to which radiation is utilized varies from country to country based on their specific needs and regulations.


3 different ways of transferring heat objects?

Three ways of transferring heat are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


How do you describe the two methods by which radiation is detected and two ways measured?

Radiation is detected using scintillation detectors, which convert radiation into light pulses, and Geiger-Muller detectors, which amplify the ionization produced by radiation. Two ways radiation is measured are by exposure, which quantifies the amount of ionization produced by radiation in air, and by dose, which measures the energy deposited by radiation in a material.


How is radiation different from conduction or convection?

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, while conduction is the transfer of heat through a solid material, and convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids. Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat, while conduction and convection do.
