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 are things radiation would do?

Radiation can ionize atoms and molecules, causing damage to cells and DNA, leading to potential health effects such as cancer. It can also be used in medical imaging and radiation therapy to diagnose and treat diseases. Additionally, radiation can penetrate materials for inspection and sterilization purposes.


Does heat being transferred to radiation when things touch?

No heat transfer through objects touching is called conduction. Transfer by radiation occurs when heat moves in the form of electromagnetic waves such as light or infrared rays. The warmth you feel from sunlight is an example of radiation.


What things do radiation let pass through?

Radiation can pass through various substances depending on the type and energy of the radiation. For example, alpha radiation is blocked by a sheet of paper or clothing, while beta radiation can penetrate skin but is stopped by thicker materials like aluminum. Gamma radiation is highly penetrating and can pass through most substances, but is absorbed by dense materials like lead or concrete.


What are the things that have radiation?

Some common sources of radiation include sunlight, medical imaging tests like X-rays and CT scans, radioactive materials used in industry and research, and natural sources like radon gas and cosmic radiation.
