That's a trick question - kind of like "how long is a piece of string?"
In fact, the answer depends on 2 factors: the strength of the radiation source, and the "density" of the matter (in this case, copper) that the radiation is going through. Sort of like "can a flashlight shine through a black cloth?" - it obviously depends on how opaque the cloth is, and if you're using a cheap flashlight or an airport landing lamp.
We think of "density" as the relative weight of a material of a given size piece of it. As such, copper is not as dense as lead (the usual material used to insulate against radiation). But it's a lot more dense than air. However, 5 pounds of air will stop radiation as effectively as 5 pounds of lead, believe it or not.
It's just a lot easier to construct containers and barriers out of lead than out of air (and they're a lot thinner, too).
What else can I help you with?
How can electricity be transfered?
Electricitiy can be transfered through radiation.
Does infrared go through glass?
Yes, infrared radiation can pass through glass. Glass is transparent to infrared radiation, allowing it to transmit through the material.
Is copper obtained from copper ore pure?
After the initial smelting to extract copper from the ore it still has to go through electroplating purification.
Why is radiation the type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter?
Radiation can go right through empty space.
Is radiation the transfer of heat through a solid material?
No, radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light or heat, through empty space or a medium without requiring direct contact between objects. Heat transfer through a solid material is called conduction.
What is heat that is transferred by way of waves that can go through empty spaces?
Radiation
Is copper convection conduction or radiation?
Copper is a metallic element, well-known for its conductivity of electricity -and heat.
Why does a house loose heat through the roof through radiation?
heat is lost by radiation because heat rises and because heat rises it goes through the roof so the heat =radiation makes the heat go through the roof year 10 wrote this u all got done
How does heat from the sun reach earth?
through radiation
Which carries more energy light from a sodium flame a copper flame or a barium flames?
The copper flame has a more energetic radiation.
What is the energy that can go through radiation?
The energy has different names, depending on the type of radiation. For example, in the case of electromagnetic radiation, the energy would be called electromagnetic energy, or in specific cases, light energy.
Does radiation need a material to travel through?
No, radiation can travel through a vacuum as well as through materials such as air, water, and solids. The ability of radiation to travel through materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation and the material's density and thickness.
