What happens to radiant heat when it falls on a body?

The way a body reacts to incident radiation depends upon the absorptive, reflectivity and transitivity. These are functions of the type of material and its color. For example black color metal would reflect more radiation than a black coloured plastic.


What is the name of the process in which the black 'fuel effect' lumps transfer thermal energy to the room?

The process is called radiation. The black fuel effect lumps emit infrared radiation that transfers thermal energy to the objects and occupants in the room, heating them up.


What surface emits heat radiation best?

Dark, rough surfaces like asphalt or charcoal tend to emit heat radiation the best. These surfaces absorb more sunlight, which in turn heats up and emits thermal radiation. Smooth and shiny surfaces, on the other hand, tend to reflect more sunlight and have higher emissivity values, which means they emit less heat radiation.


How can black surfaces reflects heat?

Black surfaces absorb more sunlight and thus heat up. When the surface heats up, it emits thermal radiation. This thermal radiation includes infrared waves, which can be absorbed by surrounding objects, leading to an increase in temperature.


What Materials which are good absorbers of radiation are also good?

Materials that are good absorbers of radiation are also good emitters of radiation. This is known as Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation. Good absorbers like black surfaces are also good emitters, while poor absorbers are poor emitters. This is why black objects heat up quickly in the sun and cool down quickly at night.

What were some of Stephan Hawkin's contributions to astronomy?

For one, he came up with the Hawking radiation, which is emitted by black holes.


Does nuclear bombs have radiant energy?

yes, both the thermal flash and prompt radiation. the thermal flash is black body radiation from IR up to gamma rays.


How does a black hole get smaller?

Stephen Hawking once came up with an argument that black holes aren't completely black, but they emit small amounts of radiation. Since the energy that produces the black hole comes from its mass, the black hole gradually shrink. In fact, the smaller the black hole, the faster it shrinks due to this radiation.


How should you eat after radiation?

Radiation does nothing but hurt your body and cost money. You should eat slowly for risk of throwing up.

How is radiation associated with mutation?

Mutation is alteration of the genetic material. Radiation has some energy and when an individual is exposed to the radiation is penetrates through the cells making up our body causing them to heat up. This heating up destroys the DNA in the cell and this in long run produces mutation in an organism.
