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.

Which type of radiation can pass easily through polythene sheets?

Alpha radiation cannot easily pass through polythene sheets, while beta and gamma radiation can pass through them. However, beta radiation may be partially absorbed depending on the energy level.


Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?

Infrared radiation can pass through glass without a problem. Ultraviolet radiation, however, is partially absorbed by most types of glass and therefore cannot pass through as easily.


What materials will sound travel through?

Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.


What gas can go through solids?

A gas cannot go through non-porous solids.


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.


Is there anything that solids can pass through but liquids cant?

Solids can pass through filters with small pores sizes that liquids cannot pass through due to their larger molecular size and inability to flow freely through tight spaces. This property is used in various separation processes such as filtration.


Can you hear through solids?

Solids will transmit sound waves, some better than others. Therefore you can hear through some, though it depends on the material and thickness.


Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?

Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.


Why is alpha radiation more dangerous than beta rediation when the source of the radiation is inside the body?

Alpha radiation cannot get pass through our body as it cannot penetrate through things. Beta can penetrate through things better than alpha. So if alpha is inside our body then it cannot get outside our body and therefore it becomes dangerous.


What does light not pass through?

Can light pass through solids?

Light passes through solids that are transparent to light, though that transparency may be in varying degrees depending on the solid. Clear glass allows light to pass; colored glass allows only wavelengths of that color to pass, and some otherwise opaque solids (like gold) can transmit light if they are reduced to a thin film. Translucent solids transmit light but cause it to be scattered in random directions. Opaque solids do not transmit light, but reflect all but a small portion that is absorbed by the material.
