When radiation interacts with matter, it can be absorbed, scattered, or pass through without interacting. Absorption can lead to heating or ionization of the matter, altering its chemical or physical structure. The type and amount of interaction depend on the properties of the radiation and the matter it encounters.

What Happens To Radiation When It Hits Eath's Surface?
When radiation hits Earth's surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered. Some of the absorbed radiation warms the surface, causing temperatures to increase, while some is re-radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. The remaining radiation is reflected back into space, contributing to Earth's energy balance.
What happens to the rest of radiation which is not absorbe by the earth?
Some of the radiation not absorbed by the Earth is reflected back into space by the atmosphere, clouds, and the Earth's surface. The remaining portion may be scattered in different directions or absorbed by gases in the atmosphere.
Give one example that is not matter?
One example of something that is not matter is electromagnetic radiation, such as light. While it can behave like particles in some situations, it does not have mass or occupy physical space in the same way matter does.
Does ultraviolet light carry heat?
In some circumstances, ultraviolet light may inteact with matter to produce heat, but it does not carry heat. Heat is carried by matter in motion since heat (temperature) is a characteristic of matter.
What happens when longwave radiation passes through glass?
Longwave radiation can pass through glass, as glass is transparent to certain wavelengths of energy. However, glass has some absorptive properties, so some of the longwave radiation may be absorbed and re-emitted as heat within the glass. This can contribute to the warming effect inside a greenhouse or a car on a sunny day.
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
What are some things that cause matter to change?
Energy (heat, radiation, ,,,)
What happens when Children are treated with radiation?
Children treated with radiation may lose some of their eyesight and develop learning problems
Why xrays dangerous and not radio waves?
Although radio waves, visible light and X-rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays travel with a much higher energy at a very short wavelength and create ionizing radiation. When an x-ray passes through organic matter the denser matter will block some of the radiation and that radiation will be deposited in the matter creating some cell damage.
How do you study how energetic waves affect matter?
Focus an energetic wave at some matter and see what happens.
What is the process where matter loses heat energy?
I believe it is called "Cooling" and it involves some or all of - radiation, conduction and convection.
What does the atmosphere do to some of the radiation?
It absorbs some of the radiation. The radiation is UV rays.
What happens to the motion of molecules when they are heated?
What kind of radiation? Remember, Beta radiation is particles (electrons)and Alpha radiation is Helium nuclei.Some radiation will transfer energy to particles ... which may speed them up,it may heat them,it may cause fluorescence.
What happens to th radiation as it passes through earth atmosphere?
As radiation passes through Earth's atmosphere, some of it is absorbed and scattered by gases and particles. This can result in attenuation of the radiation, meaning that its intensity decreases. Different types of radiation are affected in various ways based on their energy and wavelength.
What Happens To Radiation When It Hits Eath's Surface?
When radiation hits Earth's surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered. Some of the absorbed radiation warms the surface, causing temperatures to increase, while some is re-radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. The remaining radiation is reflected back into space, contributing to Earth's energy balance.
Why is UV radiation penetrating though the skin a physical change?
Penetration of uv radiation is physical change as it happens physically but after penetration it also causes some chemical changes along with physical effects .
Does all matter give off electrmagnetic radiation?
I'm hesitant to say, "All" -- I'm sure someone could find some example of a type of matter that does not do so -- but (1) all objects with a temperature radiate SOME blackbody radiation, (2) all electrons will, if accelerated, radiate photons, and (3) all nuclei will, if there is a decay, radiate some amount of gamma rays.
