Explore: Effect Of Radiation On Materials

the anisotropy of the radiation and came to the conclusion that the bluish glow was not a fluorescent phenomenon. A theory of this effect was later developed

a result of radioactive decay. This heat is produced as an effect of radiation on materials: the energy of the alpha, beta or gamma radiation is converted

energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). A notable effect of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation is attenuation of the radiation; attenuation

understanding of the effect of radiation on materials is required in order to account for irradiation effects in design, to mitigate its effect by changing

penetrating than alpha radiation or beta radiation. In some cases they are more penetrating than gamma radiation, which is impeded in materials of high atomic number

paired with one on the inside. The horizon allows one to escape in each direction. Hawking radiation is dependent on the Unruh effect and the equivalence

Optical materials deteriorate under the effect of ionizing radiation. High-intensity ionizing radiation in air can produce a visible ionized air glow of telltale

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material caused by electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light. Electrons emitted

Radiation damage is the effect of ionizing radiation on physical objects including non-living structural materials. It can be either detrimental or beneficial

stratified material. It contains many layers of materials with different indices of refraction. At each interface between materials, the probability of transition
