Radiation typically passes through gases more easily than through solids and liquids because gases have lower density and atomic/molecular structure, allowing for less interaction and scattering of radiation particles. In solids and liquids, the atoms and molecules are more closely packed together, increasing the likelihood of absorption and scattering of radiation.

Can radiation travel through a liquid?

it depends on the type of radiation alpha ((type of)nuclear radiation) can't travel through it for very long Infra red (heat) can but is absorbed by the particles in the water as it goes


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.


Why does radiation usually transfer through a gas more easily than through solids or liquids?

Gas is much less dense than liquids or solids, which means that it has fewer particles (the particles generally being atoms or molecules) per unit volume, than there are in the denser materials. Hence, if something is travelling through a gas it is not going to hit as many particles a it would if it were travelling through a liquid or solid. And any time a photon hits another particle, it may be absorbed, or reflected, or defelcted in some manner by that particle.


What types of radiation does the universe allow to pass through?

Radiation can pass easily through space. It is the earth's atmosphere that protects us from dangerous levels.


What type o radiation passes most easily through earths atmosphere?

Visible light radiation passes most easily through Earth's atmosphere. This type of radiation includes the colors of the rainbow (RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET).


Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction and convection?

For conduction and convection we need a material medium. But for radiation such a meaterial medium is not necessary. So in free space radiation can pass through easily.


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.


Is it necessary for your liquids bag to be clear when going through airport security?

Yes, it is necessary for your liquids bag to be clear when going through airport security. This is to ensure that security personnel can easily see the contents of your liquids and comply with the 3-1-1 rule for carry-on liquids.


What radiation is easily detected?

Gamma radiation is easily detected because it has a high energy level and can penetrate through materials, making it detectable by radiation detectors. Gamma radiation is commonly used in various detection devices such as Geiger-Muller counters and scintillation detectors.


What types of nuclear radiation can pass through a T-shirt?

Alpha radiation will be stopped by a T-shirt. Beta radiation may partially penetrate a T-shirt. Gamma radiation, being the most penetrating, can easily pass through a T-shirt.


Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?

Alpha radiation is the most easily absorbed because it consists of large, heavy alpha particles that can be stopped by a piece of paper or clothing. Beta and gamma radiation are more penetrating and can pass through thicker materials before being absorbed.


Which liquids are insulators?

Some examples of liquids that are good insulators include oil, pure water, and silicone oil. These liquids have high resistance to electrical conductance, meaning they do not allow electricity to flow through them easily.
