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 else can I help you with?
What do you call things that let light travel through them?
Materials that allow light to pass through them are called transparent materials.
Can you hear through glass?
Yes, sound can pass through glass, but the glass may decrease the volume or alter the quality of the sound. This is because glass is a solid material that can transmit vibrations, allowing sound waves to pass through it.
What is an object that let's no light pass through called?
An object that lets no light pass through is called opaque. This means that light is unable to penetrate or pass through the object, resulting in the absence of transparency.
How do you describe an object that does not let light pass through?
An object that does not let light pass through is described as opaque. This means that it blocks the transmission of light, resulting in no visibility or transparency.
What is an object that does not let light pass through it called?
An object that does not let light pass through it is called opaque. It absorbs or reflects light, preventing it from transmitting through the object. Examples of opaque objects include wood, metal, and walls.
Does the cell membrane let things pass through it?
Yes, the cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This is essential for controlling the movement of molecules in and out of the cell to maintain internal balance.
What do you call things that let light travel through them?
Materials that allow light to pass through them are called transparent materials.
Will sunglasses let UV radiation through?
No.
Why is a nuclear membrane semi permeable?
To keep certain things where they are: Keep inside the essential parts of the cell; keep outside things that don't belong. To let certain things pass through: Let waste products out; let nutrition and oxygen in.
What does transmit mean?
Transmitted means to be passed on from one thing to another.
An object that does not let light pass through it?
Opaque!
Can you hear through glass?
Yes, sound can pass through glass, but the glass may decrease the volume or alter the quality of the sound. This is because glass is a solid material that can transmit vibrations, allowing sound waves to pass through it.
Where is the radiation produced for microwaves?
First, let's be clear on the term, "Radiation". Radiation refers to moving things that emanate in many directions from a single source. A bathroom heater produces radiation - the kind that is heat. An X-ray machine produces radiation of, well, "X-Rays". The microwaves radiation from microwave ovens, say, comes from a "Magnetron" which is a high-energy vacuum tube that makes a stream of electrons pass through a magnetic field within a hollow vessel of copper. Other microwaves are emitted from very high-power sources such as the Sun, and other stars.
What are materials that do not let electricity pass through them called?
Insulators
What does the idiom let bygones be bygones mean?
forget the things that have pass
Materials that let the most light pass through are called?
metal
What are the materials that can let electricity pass through?
Generically they are called conductors.
